"I don't think I'd ever say I'd never do it again, because I don't feel that way," he says. Though Styles is obviously currently focused on his solo career, he does tell the magazine that he is open to a One Direction reunion down the line - but only if everyone is all in. It's good that you guys have each other because you talk about real sh**.

I never had friends I could really talk to. "My friend's dad said to me, 'You guys are so much better at it than we are. "I feel pretty lucky to have a group of friends who are guys who would talk about their emotions and be really open," he shares. He also talks about how ideas of masculinity have changed over time. So I'm not trying to say, 'I understand what it's like.' I'm just trying to make people feel included and seen." I can't claim that I know what it's like, because I don't. I'm aware that as a white male, I don't go through the same things as a lot of the people that come to the shows. "Maybe at a show you can have a moment of knowing that you're not alone. "I want to make people feel comfortable being whatever they want to be," he explains. When it comes to him waving the pride flags as well as the Black Lives Matter flag during his performances, Styles says he always strives to make fans feel included. The magazine notes that Styles has "an aura of sexual ambiguity," and that he wears nail polish during the interview and carries a purse reading "Chateau Marmont." Though he's dated only women in his public life - most famously, Taylor Swift - he hasn't put any kind of label on his sexuality. But what’s sad is, I lost my favorite mustard corduroy flares." Maybe a month later, somebody found my wallet and mailed it back, anonymously. "There was one night where we'd been partying a bit and ended up going down to the beach and I lost all my stuff, basically," he says. Styles recalls one incident where he lost all his belongings, including his wallet, although someone mailed it back to him. 'Mushrooms and Blood.' Now there's an album title." So I was trying to sing with all this blood gushing out of my mouth. "This is where I was standing when we were doing mushrooms and I bit off the tip of my tongue. "You'd hear the blender going, and think, 'So we’re all having frozen margaritas at 10 a.m.

"We'd just turn the speakers into the yard." "We'd do mushrooms, lie down on the grass, and listen to Paul McCartney's Ram in the sunshine," he says about his creative process at Shangri-La studios in Malibu, California.

Styles is candid about using drugs while recording his new music.
