Bruno Mars

My mother is a singer, my sisters all sing, my uncles are incredible singers and guitar players, so it's just kind of been like my habitat. ”

I feel, as a songwriter, it's one of the hardest things to do - to sit down and say how you feel. ”

I think that success is having fun. ”

Becoming famous was never what I wanted to do. There's a lot of things that come with fame - it's what people in the limelight have to do. ”

I definitely don't plead guilty to being a heartthrob. ”

I've learned people are watching, so don't do nothing stupid. ”

I love that I can talk to my fans through Twitter, to cut out the middle man. Because I've done interviews where my words have gotten twisted, so it's nice to be able to have things coming straight from me. ”

Today, I'd like to talk to Bob Marley. I'd just like to ask him what was his method. Bob is one of the greatest songwriters ever. I don't know if people understand how powerful his songs are and the simplicity and genius behind them, from 'Redemption Song' to 'Is This Love?' and 'I Shot the Sheriff.' ”

Don't you love it that Prince doesn't use Twitter? Don't you think he's somewhere on a unicorn? ”

I love the Sex Pistols. I'm a big Beach Boys fan and a huge Zeppelin and Queen fan. ”
