First big milestone: You turned 18!Know what? I’m excited to not have to check in my mom at night. [Laughs] Every time we used to go somewhere, I had to let my mama know. She worries! But now that I’m 18, I don’t necessarily have to. It’s awesome.
Does she still treat you like a kid?
It’s hard for her to let go. We fight sometimes because she babies me a lot. But I know at the end of the day, she’s just being protective.

Another big change. You’ve been living part-time in LA for the past year.
Yeah I miss the seasons. It’s always warm here. The seasons were good back in Canada. I definitely miss Stratford-going back to see my family and friends and stuff. I’ll probably get a house there, ultimately.

At least you get quality time with Selena. What do you love about her?
I dunno! She carries herself in a very elegant way. And my family loves her -which is usually hard because my mom’s really picky. My mom wants, you know, a good Christian girl with good manners.

Do you understand girls better now?
Well, every girl is different, so they’re hard to figure out. Like, the way most men work is the same. But each woman works differently. It’s like I can’t figure them out! But I do know girls like you to tell them you love them and that they’re all beautiful all the time. So I do that a lot with any girl I’m with. I tell them that as much as possible.
Most romantic gift you’ve ever given?
I’m not saying to who- but I gave a girl an expensive diamond bracelet recently. It was so pretty, I knew she’d love it!

Would you and Selena ever do a duet?
Yeah. I think she’s very talented. That would be very cool. We have nothing planned- but I’m not opposed to it!

Now about all that marriage talk..
I’m not thinking about marriage yet! It’s too soon. But I definitely want kids- and more than one, because I was an only child for most of my life. I want my kids to have brothers and sisters. But I won’t go huge like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. [Laughs]

Still living with your mom, right?
Yeah- and my tutor stays with us too.

Favourite school subject?
American history. It’s so much more interesting than the history we have in Canada. So much more seems to happen here- all of the wars… I find it fascinating. For least favourite, I hate math. You don’t use it! Seriously, when is the last time you used Algebra? You can use calculators.

What is your bedroom like?
Pretty plain, actually. A 62-inch TV, a white dresser, some cool lamps- that’s about it. But I have like the biggest bed ever! It looks like a spaceship - pretty modern, curved up on the sides - with a Tempur-Pedic mattress and white sheets.

Any plans to move out on your own? Your mom would be so bummed.
Well there’s nothing that she can do! But then again, I might not move out until 19 or 20. We’ll figure it out when the day comes.

Meanwhile, you’ve got a new album.
Yeah, it’s exciting. With Believe, I wanted to branch out, reach out all genres and making something that people wouldn’t expect. My last album was my first time, so I didn’t really know what I was doing. This time I got more hands on - coproducing, learning programming, developing the sound. Hopefully it’s going to be historic!
Speaking of historic, your high school graduation is around the corner!
Maybe I’ll have a ceremony. But Usher thinks that I should celebrate with all my friends, like he did when he finished school. So they’ll probably be a party.

Primer gran hito: ¡cumplir los 18 años!
¿Saben qué? Estoy muy emocionado de no tener estar controlado por mi mamá en la noche. [Risas] Cada vez que teníamos que ir algún sitio lo tenía que saber mi madre. ¡ Ella se preocupa! Pero ahora que tengo 18 años, no necesariamente tengo que hacerlo. Es impresionante.
¿Ella todavía te trata como un niño?
Es difícil para ella dejarme ir. A veces peleamos porque ella me trata mucho como un bebe. Pero sé que al final del día ella sólo está siendo protectora.
Otro gran cambio. Tu has estado viviendo a tiempo parcial en LA durante el año pasado.
Sí echos de menos las estaciones. Siempre es cálido aquí. Las estaciones eran buenas en Canadá. Yo definitivamente extraño ir a Stratford y ver a mi familia y amigos y esas cosas. Probablemente obtendré una casa allí finalmente.
Al menos tienes tiempo para estar con Selena. ¿Que es lo que te gusta de ella?
¡No lo sé! Ella lleva a sí misma de una forma muy elegante. Y mi familia la quiere, que es generalmente difícil porque mi mamá es realmente exigente. Mi mamá quiere.. tu sabes, una buena chica cristiana con buenos modales.
¿Entiendes mejor ahora a las chicas?
Algo, cada chica es diferente, así que son difíciles de averiguar. Como la forma de que trabaja de la mayoría de los hombres es el mismo. Pero cada mujer funciona de forma diferente. ¡Es como si no pudiera averiguarlo! Pero sé que las chicas como tú les gusta que les digan que las aman y que son todas hermosas todo el tiempo. Lo hago mucho con cualquier chica con la que estoy. Les digo tanto como me es posible.
¿ Regalo más romántico que has dado?
No estoy diciendo quien, pero le di una chica un brazalete de diamantes caro recientemente. Fue tan bonito, yo sabía que ella le encanta!
¿ Selena y tu harían un dueto?
Sí. Creo que ella es muy talentosa. Eso estaría bien. No tenemos nada planeado, pero no me opongo a ella.
Ahora todos hablan sobre el matrimonio ...
¡No estoy pensando en matrimonio aún! Es demasiado pronto. Pero definitivamente quiero niños y más de uno, porque era hijo único durante la mayor parte de mi vida. Quiero que mis hijos tengan hermanos y hermanas. Pero no voy a lo grande como Brad Pitt y Angelina Jolie. [Risas]
¿ Sigues viviendo con tu mamá, verdad?
Sí y mi tutor se queda con nosotros también.
¿ Tu asignatura favorita?
La historia de América. Es mucho más interesante que la historia que tenemos en Canadá. Parece mucho mas de guerras. Me parece fascinante. Lo menos que me gusta, odio las matemáticas. ¡ Tu no vas a utilizarlo! ¿En serio, cuando es la última vez que usaste el álgebra? Puedes utilizar las calculadoras.
¿ Como es tu dormitorio?
Bastante llano, realmente. Un televisor de 62 pulgadas, una cómoda blanca, algunas lámparas. Eso es todo. ¡Pero tengo como la cama más grande que jamás he tenido! Parece una nave espacial - bastante moderna, curva hasta en los lados con almohadas blancos y un colchón de Tempur-Pedic.
¿ Algún plan para mudarte por tu propia? Tu mamá podría molestarse.
¡Bueno, no hay nada que ella puede hacer! Pero otra vez, no podría salir hasta 19 o 20. Nos figuraremos esto cuando llegue el momento.
Mientras tanto, ya tienes un nuevo álbum.
Sí, es emocionante. Con Believe, yo quería extender, llegar a todos los géneros y hacer algo que la gente no espera. Mi último álbum era mi primera vez, así que realmente no sabía lo que estaba haciendo. Esta vez tengo más manos en - coproduciendo, aprender la programación, desarrollar el sonido. ¡ Esperemos que sea histórico!
Hablando de histórico, ¡ tu graduación está a la vuelta de la esquina!
Tal vez voy a tener una ceremonia. Pero Usher piensa que debo celebrarlo con todos mis amigos, como cuando el lo hizo al terminar la escuela. Por lo que probablemente será una fiesta.
