Justin Bieber says it's not easy being him. The pop star, who has grown in front of the cameras ever since he hit teenage, says life is not easy for him as he does not have any privacy. Bieber, who celebrated his 21st birthday sometime back, has undergone a sea change in his personality. In his latest interview with a website, the “Baby” singer talked about his idea of an ideal girlfriend and how his new upcoming album with be very “different.”

“Well, at this point in my life I'm so focused on myself that I'm not looking for a girlfriend. I'm just trying to make sure I'm 100 per cent so I can add to the person I want to be with,” Bieber said in an exclusive interview with Marco della Cava of USA Today. The Canadian singer is looking for a kind of girl that he can “trust and lean on.” He is in a kind of profession which is “hard” so Bieber wants someone he can “confide in.”

Bieber has come a long way in his career. He has churned out several successful albums to make him rich enough to have a luxury house of his own with several cars. The singer has also been involved in a lot of legal troubles and had to spend some time in a police lock-up too. But Bieber says he is a changed man now and “had to see the downs to appreciate the ups.” He is the type of person who has "learned the hard way."

The singer has confirmed that he is recording a new album with Kanye West and Rick. But ask him about the release date and Bieber said that he is “not rushing it” and will “wait until it's totally done.” Apart from being “different,” the album is a “grown-up version” of him, said Bieber adding that “people will be shocked.” The singer has also become a sort of perfectionist and said he has practically re-recorded the entire album because it did not match up to his expectations.
