My fans aren’t obsessed. They’re just incredible and devoted.
No matter how talented you are, not everyone is going to like you, but that’s life. Stay strong.
My fans and I have that special connection because whenever we talk on Twitter and Facebook we really have that one on one connection and I feel that’s important.
Every guy has feminine qualities. You’re raised by your mother and father, and so you get qualities from your mother and father. I was mostly with my mother, but I think the pictures turned out good. Whatever.
It’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.
I work out every day. Mostly it’s free weights and cardio. I don’t do that stuff where they throw logs at you, what’s it called, cross-fit. None of that. Mainly it’s just me in the gym, lifting weights.
Sometimes I’m like Dory from Finding Nemo. I can’t remember facts.
I don’t know that I’ve seen a lot of things I’ve done from beginning to end. I think I’ve seen clips and freaked out. I’m not somebody who watches things they’ve done.
When I get off a flight, I’m not trying to sit there and let them take pictures of me. I’m tired. I’m scratching my eyes. I just don’t like taking pictures in general.
I 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.
I like to just see what’s going on at a certain location and see what there is to do. If it looks and sounds like I’m able to have fun there, then I’m all for it.
If I believe the good, then I have to believe the bad.
I don’t own a jet, but I rent jets in my spare time. That’s the quickest and most comfortable.
When I release something, I’m like, “OK, I want it to be the best.” When I release my fragrance, I want it to be the number one fragrance. I don’t want it to be like, “Oh yeah, you got ninth on the rankings.”
I always looked really young. I matured pretty late.
At 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.
I 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.
I think love is like a learning process throughout your life. You learn how to be better at it and you learn more about it.
That’s going to be the biggest problem, to make people feel like it’s cool for them to like my music.
Everybody grows up and they have to make decisions, and they try and make the best decisions that they know how to. It’s taken them their whole lives to finally step out and start making their own decisions.
Not everyone’s going to like my music. People might not like my music, because I’m just not their style of music that they like to listen to.
