In the new issue of Glamour magazine, the One Direction guys talk about not being a typical boy band and how they don't have a "squeaky clean" image, among other things.
The question that struck us, however, was how long One Direction think they will be together as a band.
They were asked, "As One Direction grows up, can you see yourselves staying together into your forties, or even longer, like the Rolling Stones have?
Zayn is hopeful they'll stick around, but sounds like they're enjoying the ride for now, as he explains: "Hopefully; fingers crossed in 10 years' time, we'll still be here. If we fade out, then let it be and we had an amazing time. As long as we've had fun, no regrets, we've done our job."
As for being true to themselves, Liam admits, "I don't think we've ever tried to be squeaky-clean. Nobody's perfect."
Harry added, "The thing is, when you're playing a part, eventually it goes wrong. Eventually someone's going to see that that's not who you are. So it's best to be yourself from the get-go."
How long do you think 1D will remain a band?
