David Letterman: It's a documentary, isn't it?
Justin Bieber: Well yes, it's kinda like my story and kind of like most people would just think like they just put me together, some people just made me and like I'm just some factory machine.
David Letterman: Right.
Justin Bieber: But like this movie really like proves that like I really worked hard to get here and like that's why I just wanted to show that.
David Letterman: I never thought that you had been just put together.
Justin Bieber: Oh, thank you.
David Letterman: But you know I watched the film and what breaks my heart is to see the pictures of you when you were a tiny, tiny little kid.
Justin Bieber: Ah thank you.
David Letterman: You look back at that and you think 'Look at that little kid right there'. It's different when you have a little kid like that. It creates a different perspective.

David Letterman: What is your hometown?
Justin Bieber: Stratford, Ontario. It's like 30,000 people. You know Paul is from a town called Thunder Bay.
David Letterman: Thunder Bay.

Justin Bieber: Yeah.
Paul: Very high-minded culture there. Good.
Justin Bieber: Again, thanks Paul.
Paul: Yes, any time.
Justin Bieber: I like him, a lot.
David Letterman: We love Paul. When you were a kid living up there with your family. Uh, musical influences, uh Canadian performers, American performers. What motivated you to do this?
Justin Bieber: Um well I grew up a lot listening to Michael Jackson, a lot of Boyz II Men. Like a lot of Soul music. My mom listened to a lot of that and my dad really…
David Letterman: Who did you like Soul music was
Justin Bieber: Well I like, like Stevie Wonder, Boyz II Men and like Usher.
David Letterman: Did you ever meet any of these people?
Justin Bieber: Well I'm signed to Usher so I met him and I didn't get to meet Stevie yet but I got to meet Boyz II Men.
David Letterman: Did this all happen because your mom put video of you on YouTube?
Justin Bieber: Yeah we put videos online and then they like just spread like rapid fire and then I got like found by my manager Scooter who introduced me to Usher and Justin Timberlake and then we were going to sign with Justin and then we ended with signing with Usher.
David Letterman: Tell me more about Scooter. [laughs]
Justin Bieber: That's what me and my mom were thinking like this guy named Scooter wants to sign us, like how professional could this really be?
David Letterman: Exactly, yeah.
Justin Bieber: But turns out he's got some credibility.
David Letterman: Right. Is he an older guy? How old is he?
Justin Bieber: No, he's not old, he's not young. He's like 30
David Letterman: Yeah [laughs]
Justin Bieber: Wait, he's gonna be mad, he's gonna be mad. He's 29, he's gonna be mad if I say that. He's gonna be mad if I say 30.
David Letterman: 29 is okay, 30 is too old to be calling yourself Scooter. That's the cut off.
Justin Bieber: Come on Scooter.
David Letterman: But we're done. Do we have a clip of Never Say Never. Can we take it with you?
Justin Bieber: We do, actually part of the movie when we were filming it, I lost my voice and it was like really hard for me to sing and I had to go through some struggles so this is a clip.
Fans outside: [sceaming]
David Letterman: Can you hear that? That's outside, girls are still screaming. That's crazy.
Justin Bieber: Yeah.
David Letterman: That you're not even out there and they're screaming.
Justin Bieber: I know, I don't know what's going on.
David Letterman: Oh my God. That's power, my friend.
Justin Bieber: Thank you.
David Letterman: Uh is this a film in 3D?
Justin Bieber: It is in 3D. Yeah
David Letterman: [grabs 3D glasses] Ok.
Justin Bieber: Wow.
David Letterman: Alright, roll it. Part where he loses his voice. [shows clip]
David Letterman: How long was your voice off?
Justin Bieber: Um it was off for like a couple days, my voice was really like raspy. I (?) even like singing
David Letterman: Have you ever had that more than once?
Justin Bieber: Um no. Just like twice actually.
David Letterman: You gotta be careful because I mean you're 16 and if this starts happening more and more then it can be a problem later. So you really gotta be careful because I can tell you weren't really paying attention to what you said.
Justin Bieber: No, I was. I was like emotional because my voice was gonna… and I had to perform at Madison Square Garden.
David Letterman: Yeah but see but they shouldn't have send you out there. Did you perform with your voice like that?
Justin Bieber: Uh yeah.
David Letterman: Well, see you can't do that
Justin Bieber: But I had to. I had like, all my fans were waiting for me to perform and it's like I owe it to them.
David Letterman: Well I admire, yes I admire that. But there's two ways to look at this. One you could do some permanent damage to your voice by doing that and secondly your adoring leave, say 'Jeez what was the matter with his voice'
Justin Bieber: Yeah.
David Letterman: You don't want that either?
Justin Bieber: No but at the same time.
David Letterman: You know what the problem is, I'll tell you what the problem is Scooter. Scooter is the problem. Justin Bieber, ladies and gentlemen. That's Never Say Never, opens February 11th. Nice to see you, great job.
