However, Styles explains, “I’m happy I found this band and these musicians, where you can be vulnerable enough to put yourself out there. I’m still learning…but it’s my favorite lesson.”

Styles counters, “Loads of amazing music was written then, but I’m not saying I wish I lived back then. I wanted to do something that sounds like me. I just keep pushing forward.” Read more on RollingStone.com.
