With his new 'Purpose' album being a lock for the top spot on the Billboard 200, pop heartthrob Justin Bieber is featured on the November 14th issue of Billboard magazine, where he dishes on fame, learning from his mistakes and ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.
On His Struggles With Fame: "It might seem awesome from the outside, but I’m struggling. Certain things broke my trust with people. Situations happen that taint your mind. I started going through the motions. I felt like people were judging me all the time. I came out alive. I came out swinging. But I was close to letting [fame] completely destroy me."
On His 'Purpose' Album: "Fuck, I’m so nervous. It’s hard to make meaningful songs that make you want to dance because it can come off cheesy. In the past I’ve recorded songs that I didn’t like, that I wouldn’t listen to, that the label was telling me to record. I’m self-expressing with this album — I can’t skip on the moments that were dark, the moments that were happy, the ex-girlfriend stuff. It makes it real, rather than ‘Let’s call up Max Martin to write you a hit song.’ I want my music to be inspiring."
On Selena Gomez: "I’m proud of the woman she is today. When you love someone that much, even if something comes between you, it’s a love that never really dies.” Justin says he hasn’t listened to her new album (“I know I had a lot of play in that one; I don’t know what she’s saying about me”), and that it’s “too soon” for another serious relationship."
