‘If I Hadn’t Found Music, My Life Would Have Been Bad’

‘I never stop working. In what I wanted to do in music I’ve never had any fear. But now I’m at the top there’s nowhere to go but down; for me it’s about staying standing at the top’
Justin Bieber’s exclusive photoshoot and interview via dailymail.co.uk.
On buying a plane: “No way. It’s a total waste of money. You buy the plane, then you have to pay for storage, and on top of that you have to think about the fuel, the cost of the fuel – that’s maybe $4,000. Even hiring a private plane is like 50 or 60K. Once you get into that it becomes a habit – a bad habit. I’ll get one when I need it – if I have to go somewhere instantly – but you don’t want to buy a plane; it’s definitely not worth it.”
On music: “I never stop working. In what I wanted to do in music I’ve never had any fear. But now I’m at the top there’s nowhere to go but down; for me it’s about staying standing at the top. I’m not a kid any more – I’m an adult, I’m making the decisions and I want to keep on growing, and I believe I can.”
On crossing over: “I look at Justin Timberlake and Usher and see how they crossed over really successfully, and I’ve seen people go off at the deep end, get full of themselves, think they’re the best and end up not being anything. I’ve worked way too hard for that. I definitely don’t want to be just another teen heart-throb. But there are different ways of growing. I want to be loved like Michael Jackson was, from the four-year-olds to the 80-year-olds. I am going to change and grow through my music and doing films. This album was different. My next album will be even edgier.”
On swear words: “My music is never going to have swear words in it. Never.”
On music vs. school: “What happened was I found something I wanted to be good at. I wasn’t good at school because I had no passion for it. If I hadn’t found music my life would have been bad. My family are all poor, so the cycle would have continued. My kids would have been poor, and their kids would have been too. I feel I broke the cycle, and when you get to break the cycle, you don’t go back.”
On the misconception: “That’s the greatest misconception of me. People think I’m a product, that they found this good-looking kid, cut his hair nice and put Auto-Tune on his voice, wrote him good songs, taught him how to dance and then said, “Here is a pop star for you.” I am the furthest thing from that. I’m a musician; I play instruments, I write songs. I’m a businessman; I want to create an empire. I want people to know I don’t just sing songs. I’m the guy who signed the girl who just had the biggest single all round the world (Carly Rae Jepsen with Call Me Maybe; he brought her to the attention of Braun, who gave him a 50 per cent cut when he signed her).”
On One Direction & the Wanted: “I am not threatened by anybody; no one can threaten me. It’s actually cool to have other young people on the scene. I’ve spent years being the only one at all these awards shows – now there are other people my age. I hang out with One Direction, and the guys from The Wanted are fun, really funny guys. I keep my distance when they go to clubs to have their fun – I go home. Drinking is definitely one way, but it’s not for me. I still want people to think I’m a good person, a good influence. I want to be around tomorrow.”
On the fans: “I love my fans; I love the mass hysteria. I mean, this was always what I wanted. And you’ve got to remember I was this kid with no marketing campaign; it was my fans that got me here. They were the ones who’d show up at radio stations when I was playing on them, and that’s how I got my record deal. That’s how everybody started saying, “Who is this kid, Justin Bieber, who has 10,000 girls outside a mall in New Jersey?”
On flying: “I just started to really not like getting on a flight. It scares me. When I get anxiety, my heart drops and starts beating really fast as if it’s going to explode. And when there’s a weird noise, it’s like, what’s that weird noise? People say you have more chance of getting into a car accident than a plane crash, but they do maybe one flight a year and I’m on planes all the time. And all the time I’m thinking I have no control. If this plane crashes I’m dead. I feel like every time I get on a plane I’m risking my life.”

Amazing. This is why I love Justin. When Rihanna went stupid and started pushing out garbage instead of music, I didn’t know what to do. Rihanna was my favorite. When I stopped listening to her, I thought that I would never have another favorite again. Then along came Justin. When I watched his interviews, I thought, “He sounds sweet, but how’s his music?”. I listened, and I found a replacement for Rihanna. And his name was JUSTIN BIEBER! This interview just strethened my love for him again. The fact that he said that he would never curse in his music reminded me of why I liked him in the first place. When he said that he didn’t need to drink to have his fun, that just made me think of how he wants to be a good example. He’s such a beautiful person, inside and out, and I don’t know why people hate him. This whole intrview just kept my love strong. ALWAYS A FAN!
*interview*- sorry. this E button on the keyboard is really giving me a hard time today.
*strengthened- looking back. WHY DID I JUST NOTICE IT NOW?! I feel dumb sometimes.
wonder how many beliebers justin will have is he was’nt so cute and sexy if he was ugly ,but still the sweet boy he’s now ,well i ‘ll still would love him with all my hear becuz beauty is on the inside not on the outside ,most people look at the outside of a pakkage not on whats in it
lovely ♥
My favorite song is 1-16on the believe album lol.tee hee luv u Justin hope I get to meet u someday !!
Justin is my everything!! I devote my life to him he’s the only reason get out of bed in the morning he’s the one that gets me through long hard days. So basically he’s my life. I don’t know what i’d be doing without him and his music. So justin if you ever read this just know that your my life saver right now and if you stop making music I’m gunnar cry!!!!
can you see me at brunsville tonight and sleep with me justin bieber?
But nikki said ‘b*tches’ in beauty and a beat ?
Ummm….. that’s Nicki…..he said that HE wouldn’t. Another reason that I don’t like stupid Nicki Minaj. (No offense Nicki Minaj fans.)
Ok correction, he did say his music. But I’m not sure, they let her say the word on the radio, when they usually leave it out. Maybe it’s not what we think it is? I dont know. Even so, I have the confidence that he won’t curse.( That “damn” in Die in Your Arms doesn’t count to me. To me, because of it’s meaning, “damn” isn’t really a curse word, so…)
I REALLY THINK haters will definately be inspired by reading ol these (means if they do)means JUSTIN UR such an honest n wise ur every personality attracts me towards u …u said ‘If I Hadn’t Found Music, My Life Would Have Been Bad’ n ‘if I hadn’t found u my life would have been ruined ‘ yes ur that inspiration to me u are my inns n means now n then n foreva…I LOVE U N WILL BE LOVING U N ofcourse support u n I really wish n pray to god that ur every wishes be true cuz u do that for good I THINK u’r best no matter wht haters say or do jst by editing ur pics ,messing up wid ur songs n by comparing to others ..u’re always the same for me bt respect has increased alot n love also… I LOVE U JUSTIN NO MATTER WHT situation comes…i’ll be always there for u supporting u n defending cuz i believe u…. n knw u cant do anything wrong or bad …bt if u do WE,urfrens,ur seniors n family’ll guide u to right path..thats ol tho its too way long I LOVE U JUSTIN ur my LIFE..
If I hadn’t found Justin my life would be RUINED
c’mon he ain’t bad at school, he has a 4.0 GPA
Your such a good role model, babe! I love youu!!!
#believe
u know Justin that’s the kind of spirit your fans like n wanted n I trust that u will be like MJ not only by music but by your character n personality n I believe that you will not stop until the end just like MJ.
Hey belibers dont be fightin with the directioners coz justin is friends with 1d and its not realii even worth it
say u r the fan of 1d not a fan of jb
Last pic: Keeping it classy. Nice.
I like how he said no one can threaten him. I don’t know why but I do.
i ‘m selena have kiss justin bieber in the lips.so u mad about me kissing justin.(:
#swaggie! <3. Uh, Justins music already has swear words. ??? #confused.
Damn means to eternally condemn so… not really a curse word….
I like how the words about music means to him
Well that’s good that he dosent spend his money wastefully, he thinks about things before he does it. I love that!(:
Among the things that attracted me to him recently as a fan is his confidence and strong character-he’s no pushover! Furthermore he has an exciting stage presence I don’t see in most most pop stars or boy bands today. He also will hopefully not be influenced to take drugs and ruin his life as other teen idols have. I think of him as a little brother that I will always defend from the haters.
Awwhhh, if you weren’t discovered in the music world, our generation wouldn’t be the same <3 xxx
Aww! Thats why i am a belieber. He is such an great person, his words on 1d& the wanted were perfect. He has amazing personality. He inspire me alot………. U r the best, luv u justin. <3 #belieberforever

He is really amazing person. He knows what to do or not and when. Öne day he will deffo become more famouse than MJ. 😀 i love u jb
Justin is amazing guy who adores his family and friends. but cherish what he has with his fans and hopes to grow more fans as he grow older and wiser. hes still wise but having that mentaility of becoming adult dealing with people who are very ignorant in the business. of course the STALKRAZZI. THEY ARE LIKE BEES TO HONEY.
you know most of beliebers love justin cuz his cute and talented and I love him for that too …but I love him most cuz of his personality and him being soo wise.
#beliebers are awesome.
Yah.. I love him because he never forgets about his fans and I like his personality.. He’s inperfectly perfect
