I guess it's a mix of both, it all kinda came about real quick and before we knew it, [we had] a No. 1 album in America and we're selling out arenas and we were globally successful. And we had a great time while we were doing that. And this is kind of like a little chapter in the middle where we're doing our own thing. Again, all being successful at it, I'd like to think, and selling out tours and being out on the road and making tunes that we all want to make. Yeah, it's kind of a bit of both, and we're gonna see what happens in the future. It’s hard to believe it's been eight years. … Today I was in Urban Outfitters and a girl said, 'I've been a fan since I was 12,' and she was like 20. And I was like 'Oh God.' [Laughs] It even makes me feel old, and I'm only 24! It's a bit of a shock to the system when you hear stuff like that. But yeah, it's been amazing to be part of people's lives. A lot of people you read online [say] 'One Direction was basically a part of my teenage years,' and I wouldn't have it any other way. I think that's quite a cool thing to be able to have in your résumé.
Does the anniversary make Horan reflect on where he’s come from with One Direction, or does it make him think about where the guys are all at now and what could happen with the group in the future?
