Justin Bieber: 'I Don't Give a F--k' What People Say About Me

Justin Bieber has lashed out at his critics in the latest edition of The Hollywood Reporter, E! News reported Wednesday.

Bieber appears on the magazine with his manager Scooter Braun. The 19-year-old teen sensation said all the criticism he has withstood has only brought him and his fans closer together. He said that the negative stories about him were more about driving traffic to website and purchases for outlets.

"Every time some site writes something bad, all my followers go on there, and it brings them more traffic," Bieber continues. "Now they have all the Beliebers on their site, which gives them money from advertisers. They're just worried about money. They don't care about ruining someone's name."

Many outlets have reported on Bieber vandalizing various walls with graffiti, disrespecting Argentianian flags and throwing wild parties.  Bieber was defensive as he argued that he did not care what others thought of him.

"Not 'I don't give a f--k' to just be reckless and do whatever, but 'I don't give a f--k what [people] say," Bieber said.

Bieber said that he was also sure of who he was.  He stated that he was very happy with the man he was becoming.

"I know who I am and what I'm doing in my life and what I've accomplished and continue to accomplish as a performer, as a writer, as an artist, as a person, as a human being," he said.
