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.
Justin BieberI definitely want to buy my mom a house once I get enough funds. I think that's definitely something that I want to do. I think that any person, it's their dream to buy their mother a house.
Justin BieberNothing ever got my pulse racing (in a good way) like hockey. Well, nothing except Beyonce, but that wasn't until I was twelve or so. Then, all of a sudden, it was like I opened my eyes one day and noticed that the world is full of beautiful girls, and I've had a hard time thinking about anything else ever since.
Justin BieberI want to go out there and do some different things that people are like, "Wow. That's crazy. Why didn't I think of that?"
Justin BieberI'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.
Justin BieberI listened to a lot of Michael Jackson growing up. A lot of Boyz II Men. I loved Mariah Carey. Just big vocalists. I was always that kid who just wore whatever and did whatever.
Justin BieberPeople write to me and say, 'I'm giving up, you're not talking to me.' I just write them a simple message like, 'Never give up,' you know? And it changes their life.
Justin BieberIt's okay for my Beliebers to have a boyfriend, but please don't kiss them in front of me because I get jealous.
Justin BieberWhen 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.
Justin BieberThis letter really touched my heart. Sabrina says when she lost all her hair during chemo, she wore the cap I gave her.
Justin BieberNo matter how talented you are not everyone is going to like you but that's life, stay strong
Justin BieberEverything starts from something but something would be nothing if your heart didn't dream with me.
Justin Bieberi will never say never i will fight i will fight till forever make it right whenever you knock me down i will not stay on the ground pick it up and never say never
Justin BieberI'm just trying to get the best sound and have it be consistent and make sense with what I'm going through in my life.
Justin BieberJust being young and growing up in this business is hard. Just growing up in general is hard.
Justin BieberOf 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.
Justin BieberIt's crazy... without the Internet I would never be in this place... without YouTube and stuff. But also I wouldn't be here without any of my fans who supported me.
Justin BieberI think love is like a learning process throughout your life. You learn how to be better at it and you learn more about it.
Justin BieberBorn to be some body." You were born to be some body, maybe a vet, maybe a hero, maybe a care giver. What ever it is you were born to be some thing special and if you believe you can achieve
Justin BieberAt 13 you're not even thinking about that, you know? I was just playing for fun and uploading videos on YouTube because I wanted to show my family.
Justin BieberIt's so hard, because everyone's got a camera-phone, and everyone wants to get their picture on the blogs. So they'll send anything that they have to the blogs. So you don't really get any privacy.
Justin BieberI feel like it's my responsibility to be the greatest I can be. If I go out there and start making terrible music, I don't expect people to like me. If I'm making great music and there's no reason for people to not like me, that's when it's going to make me upset. People just need to take a chance and listen.
Justin BieberI play drums and guitar. My best instrument is definitely drums, so I'm featured a lot on the album drumming. It's pretty futuristic as well.
Justin BieberYou guys are evil. Canada's the best country in the world. We go to the doctor and we don't need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you're broke because of medical bills. My bodyguard's baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby's premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home.
Justin BieberThere's more people that like me than there are who hate me, so I kind of brush it off.
Justin BieberYou know I'm just getting bigger, man. It's like, my shoulders don't fit in some things.
Justin BieberThe 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.
Justin BieberI have a house in Stratford and I got a house in Atlanta but I don't really live anywhere--I live on the road. I'm kind of like living in a suitcase, travelling so much.
Justin BieberI want girls to hear my music and want to play it again because it made their hearts feel good.
Justin BieberI dont understand why my fans cry when they see me. Do I make you sad? No, right? So smile, I like that!
