“I was really nervous [on the show], and I think I was nervous because I was afraid of what people are thinking about me right now,” he said. “I didn’t want to come off arrogant or conceited. Basically, how I have been acting the past year, year and a half.”
He seemed to suggest that his misbehavior was the result of youth, arrogance and lots of attention. “I’m not what I was pretending to be,” he said. “We pretend to be something we are not. We cover up what we are truly feeling inside. There were a lot of feelings going on in there. Just being young and growing up in this business is hard. Growing up in general is hard; but yeah, I felt awkward up there. People were judging me, and I really want people to know how much I care.” (ABC News)
