In the spring preview issue of V Magazine, 17-year-old pop star Justin Bieber speaks out about his squeaky clean image and how he feels about finally reaching the precipice of adulthood.

I’m not going to try to conform to what people want me to be or go out there and start partying, have people see me with alcohol. I want to do it at my own pace… I don’t want to start singing about things like sex, drugs and swearing. I’m into love, and maybe I’ll get more into making love when I’m older. But I want to be someone who is respected by everybody.

Oh Justin, please don’t say “making love” – that’s just gross.

The Canadian-born singer, who’s been romantically linked to “Love You Like a Love Song” songstress Selena Gomez for over a year, goes on to talk about his personal aspirations for his musical career and what he expects from himself as an artist.

I want to be successful and be great at what I do. But eventually, I want to become the best at what I do… I want to be better than anybody who’s ever done it. And in order to do that, I need to strive to be the best, be good to people and treat people with respect, and work as hard as I can. Because for me, I work so hard and this consumes my life — it’s not worth it if I’m not the best.
