Justin Bieber says he 'wouldn't really change much' about his past

Justin Bieber has said that he wouldn't change "much" of his mistakes growing up in public.

The singer has stated that his public controversies have helped shape his personality, also denying that his single 'Sorry' was his way of apologising for his mstakes.

Bieber told GQ: "People ran with 'Sorry' being me apologising with the song. It really had nothing to do with that. It was about a girl."

Bieber, who headlines V Festival this weekend, added: "Everyone, when they start growing up, realises 'Man, I did some dumb shit when I was younger.' It's not just me. If I could go back, I wouldn't really change much. I think it's all my journey. That stuff made me who I am."

One of the singer's controversies surrounded his pet capucin monkey Mally, who was seized by German customs officials when the singer played in Munich in 2013 and remains in quarantine.

Bieber, who has lived in a hotel in Beverly Hills for two years, said: "I had the correct papers for the monkey but, in Germany, that monkey's endangered or something. But I had the papers. I even had it written out that he was a circus monkey who could travel, all that shit. I had all the right papers, but things get twisted. Everyone told me not to bring the monkey. I was 'It's gonna be fine', but it was the farthest thing from fine. I'll get another monkey one day, but I have to make sure I've got a house and that it stays in the house."
