"At the beginning of it all I was in Florida, away from my friends and family and I was pretty sad. I got to the point where I thought, 'I don't want to do this. I just want to be normal.' It was difficult because I'd never gone through anything like that. Usher was like, 'Prepare to have this for the rest of your career because it's not going to stop.' He's gone through some stuff and most artists go through their fair share of bull. That was just my first time." -- Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber tells Britain's Fabulous magazine that he nearly quit the music biz when his now-infamous paternity scandal erupted back in November (2011). The 18-year-old pop sensation sings all about the baby-mama drama in his Believe track, "Maria."
