You don't need to go to church to be a Christian. If you go to Taco Bell, that doesn't make you a taco.
— Justin Bieber
I'm really an animal guy. I express myself in different ways as an animal.
I got a bright future ahead of me.
I'm happy with the man I'm becoming.
Now that I'm on top, everyone wants to bring me down. Everyone's trying to tug at me and take my spot.
I grew up in a really small town with not a lot of money, and I liked singing, but it was just something that was a hobby.
It's cool when fans spend so much time making things for me. It means a lot.
No one can stop me.
My mind is always racing.
I'm crazy, I'm nuts. Just the way my brain works. I'm not normal. I think differently.
I've had a few gigs where things have got out of hand and there has been a huge crush with my fans. They are important and I don't want them being hurt. They are a mad crowd.
I'm looking forward to influencing others in a positive way. My message is you can do anything if you just put your mind to it.
We're trying to set up a movie for me in the near future. It's going to be similar to the story of how I got discovered. Kinda like my own version of '8 Mile.'
I've never made a bad song.
I make mistakes growing up. I'm not perfect; I'm not a robot.
I want to figure out myself as a man.
It's not me trying to act or pose in a certain way. It's a lifestyle - like a suaveness or a swag, per se.
A lot of people who are religious, I think they get lost. They go to church just to go to church.
Of course, I think that people are just waiting for that time when I make a mistake and they're gonna jump on it.... There's gonna be haters.
Friends are the best to turn to when you're having a rough day.
I want my world to be fun.
I want to be a young dad. By 25 or 26 I want to see myself, like, married or start looking for a family.
Young people in the business have grown up and made the wrong decisions, or bad decisions, and haven't been good role models. To be someone that people look up to is important to me.
The Beliebers have done some pretty crazy stuff. Last week, the night before I was due to do a show in Germany, four girls went into a dumpster so they could sneak into the building. They climbed in and hid. When the guys working on the truck started getting the garbage they found them straight away. It was crazy.
I grew up below the poverty line; I didn't have as much as other people did. I think it made me stronger as a person, it built my character. Now I have a 4.0 grade point average and I want to go to college, and just become a better person.
Cheryl Cole and Katy Perry are two of the hottest girls in the world - and so normal and funny with it. If I was a few years older they are the kind of girls I'd like to date. I want a younger version of Cheryl and Katy - a mixture of the two would be hot.
I think I'm probably gonna quit music.
I want to grow as an artist, and I'm taking a step out. I want my music to mature.
When people see a negative thing about me on a magazine, they're gonna buy it. Every time some site writes something bad, all my followers go on there, and it brings them more traffic.
I know who I am and what I'm doing in my life and what I've accomplished and continue to accomplish as a performer, as a writer, as an artist, as a person, as a human being.
As I get into it more, I want to grow as an artist, as an entertainer, and basically perfect my craft.
Sometimes it's overwhelming but I love my fans and it's always great to see them.
My manager is definitely a mentor as well as Usher.
I leave the hip thrusts to Michael Jackson.
Canada's the best country in the world.
I've got my eye on a few things to spend my money on. I've got my own bank card but I am really good with money. I don't spend too much at all.
I started singing about three years ago, I entered a local singing competition called Stratford Idol. The other people in the competition had been taking singing lessons and had vocal coaches. I wasn't taking it too seriously at the time, I would just sing around the house. I was only 12 and I got second place.
I think older people can appreciate my music because I really show my heart when I sing, and it's not corny. I think I can grow as an artist, and my fans will grow with me.
Not trying to be arrogant, but if I walked down the street and a girl saw me, she might take a look back because maybe I'm good-looking, right?
