Justin Bieber Chats About New Songs, A Hard Life, & More In New Interview

Justin Bieber recently spoke with USA Today in order to promote his upcoming Comedy Central special, Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber. Highlights can be found below.

On what his friends would say his biggest change over the year has been: “Well, my eyes. You know how you can tell a person by their eyes, their intentions and where they’re at? Well, my eyes changed, they got softer and brighter. They’re open. I have more of a grasp of who I am at this point.”

On what his new songs will be about: “About growing, being in touch with yourself. What can I say, it’s life experiences, and knowing that you can and get back up and keep going. Hope and faith, that’s what’s gotten me through this too, my faith. What I believe in. You’re around some people sometimes and it might taint what you believe. I think that’s what happened with me, I lowered my beliefs.”

On living a hard life: “Unless you’re stupid, I don’t think you would think it’s easy to be who I am. Just use your head, you’ll understand that my life is not easy. Not having privacy. Growing up in front of the cameras since I was 13, 14. You need to have those mess-ups without anyone judging you, and that’s not something I was able to do. I think that people realize, they see it now, the transition. We can talk and do interviews and I can say I’m in a better place, but until they see the walk, and see the transition come to life, that’s what’s really going to matter.”
