Los Angeles, May 4 (IANS): Singer Justin Bieber wants to be a role model to his younger siblings, Jaxon and Jazmyn.

"I love my brother and sister so much. I want to help them be the best they can be and being someone they can look up to is definitely an important part of that," he told People magazine.

The 21-year-old also opened up about the importance of surrounding himself with his family, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"There have been times where it has been difficult. But as long as I put God and family first, I can find my way through most things. I also find it important to surround myself with people who are honest and hold me accountable for my actions - that helps a lot, too," added Bieber.

Meanwhile, the “Boyfriend” hitmaker previously apologised for the "last couple of years", which have seen him have multiple brushes with the law for wild partying, driving offences and vandalising a neighbour's house with eggs.
