  • How connected he is to his fans. People are like, ‘Oh he Twitters. He knows his audience.' He really does. But being with him, he knows fans by name. When he sees them on street, he looks them in eye. He won't stop for cameras or interviews, but he will stop for fans. If it's a little girl or a mom, he will stop. We had an interview the other day where someone showed him a video of a fan crying and going crazy, and everyone was laughing. I was laughing about how ridiculous this girl was. He wasn't laughing. He was like, ‘She is such a sweetheart.' This is real for him. I thought that was noble and admirable about him.
  • I didn't know how real he was. When I spent more time with him, I grew to love him as a friend. He is just a kid. This is just the beginning. This could be a trilogy; this is just the first chapter. We will see him in 10 years. Will he leave this world, or continue to grow in his music and art? That intrigued me in and of itself. I didn't know a lot about his music or his family. But to young underdogs, he is their Peter Pan.

  • The fans are his manager, they are the ones who put him to the world and they demand the respect of that.”
  • “They are hardcore! You don’t not talk bad about Justin Bieber, you do not do anything to Justin Bieber, you do not put one fan above the other – they will kill and attack you.”
  • The fans had a huge influence on this movie, they spoke out on what they wanted to see, they spoke out on what they didn’t want to see, they spoke out on when we did something they didn’t like and we listened, because that’s who were making the movie for, it’s been a fun journey with them as well.”

  • hu respectfully disagrees: "It's a story about this generation more than even Justin Bieber."
  • It's a story that wasn't possible six years ago, about a guy who harnessed a technology that even corporations now don't know how to use.
  • "The bigger story is how he got here, how he got to sell out Madison Square Garden." It's a story about this generation more than even Justin Bieber.

  • He wasn't chosen by a big corporation; he was chosen by the people, kids at home in their living room who are on the Internet all day long. And he's kept the relationship a one on one, almost sort of a texting relationship with his fans, through Twitter.
  • There are plenty of YouTube stars, but very few — maybe none except for Justin — who have broken through.
  • he understands that people want him to fail, that there are haters, and that the test is really coming next, that it hasn't happened yet.
  • But he has the confidence to know that he has the talent to overcome that if he wants to. He has the ability to get away from all the negativity if he wants to.
  • e's ver
  • y aware of it. He doesn't talk to a lot of people about it. He knows the deal.
  • He's getting dressed, and his mike's not working, he's trying to adjust it, and it's like, "You have 30 seconds," the countdown's going off, and he says we're not going on until the mike works, and then finally he gets it to work, and people are rushing out, he's walking calmly to the stage, 20,000 people going nuts, and the pyro's going off, the bass. He gives a fist bump to me, a fist bump to the guy on the stage, the floor rises, the lights go on, and screaming girls go nuts. And at that moment, I was like, Holy shit, that's the life of Justin Bieber.
