Daydream Belieber: Some pearls of wisdom from Prince Justin of pop

By Ned Kelly, September 26, 2013

The day I was born – March 1, 1994 Celine Dion was solid at #1 with ‘The Power of Love.’ Not a bad start to your life.”

“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.”

Don’t say I’m not talented. If you haven’t noticed, I wasn’t made. I was found.

My first date has been mythologized as ‘Bieber’s Dating Disaster.’ I took her to a buffet restaurant. Yes, I wore a white shirt. Yes, I got spaghetti.

I have a swagger coach that helps me and teaches me different swaggerific things to do… He has helped me with my style and just putting different pieces together and being able to layer and stuff like that.

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?

A girl could be sitting on her computer, trying to get noticed by me, and not knowing she’s the future Mrs. Justin Bieber.

I have dumped a girl over the phone. It’s terrible, isn’t it? We got into an argument during a phone call, so I basically said, “I don’t wanna be with you anymore,” and she cried. I saw her after that and it was a bit awkward.

I want to be a young dad. By 25 or 26 I want to see myself, like, married or start looking for a family.

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 have crushes, but they’re all too old. Like Beyoncé – she has a husband, I might get shot. I went up to give Beyoncé a hug at the Grammys and Jay-Z said, “Watch out buddy!” He was kidding, but… you know.

My world got very big, very fast, and based on a lot of sad examples from the past, a lot of people expect me to get lost in it.

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.

When you are following me on Twitter, you are literally following my life. I think that’s pretty cool.

Singers aren’t supposed to have dairy before a show, but we all know I’m a rule breaker.

My fans are really loud but they are great. I’ve never liked someone so much to go up and scream that loud.

When life knocks you down to your knees, you’re in the perfect position to pray.

If I can do just one-tenth of the good that Michael Jackson did for others, I can really make a difference in this world.

My fans are sexy. Yes they are. They can’t help themselves.

My fans are like my glasses. Without them I’d be blurry.

Whenever I’m sick, my doctor jokes that I have Bieber Fever.

I’m crazy, I’m nuts. Just the way my brain works. I’m not normal. I think differently.

The success I’ve achieved comes to me from God.

A lot of people who are religious, I think they get lost. They go to church just to go to church.

Those Beliebers who haven’t met me yet are the special ones.

I’m not a fighter by nature, but, if I believe in something, I stand up for it.

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.

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. Haters are just confused admirers.

So remember, this is Bieber’s world. You’re just living in it. Bieber or die.
