AceShowbiz - Chris Brown opens up about moving past his troubles in an interview with Billboard magazine. The Grammy-winning singer, who is featured on the front page baring his chest while wearing a green jacket, white shirt and a fedora, dishes on life behind bars, upcoming album "X" and Rihanna in the interview which will be released in full on Friday, September 5.
"I realize that what I do for a living opens my life to public scrutiny and that I have a responsibility to everyone because of that exposure," Brown tells the magazine. "I can say that I am only human and I have made mistakes."
"I can say that I try to live my life in the most true, honest way that I can. I am not perfect, no one is. No one is harder on me than me. No one can please everyone. No one can live in the past and expect to grow. I have been moving forward and hope that I am not defined by just a few moments in my life but all of the moments that will make up my life," he continues.
Brown's long-awaited album "X" is due out September 16. The set was originally planned to be released earlier this year, but it was delayed due to his runs-in with the law. On September 2, Brown pleaded guilty over Washington, D.C. assault and apologized in court. The judge sentenced him to time already served.
