Maroon 5's Adam Levine: "I'm too impulsive"

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine admits he is too "impulsive" with what he says.

This week The Voice US judge and mentor shocked the nation by muttering “I hate this country” during a taping of the hit TV talent show after two of his contestants were eliminated from the competition.

In a pre-recorded interview set to air on CBS Sunday Morning this weekend, Levine revealed that his comment was quite rash.

He explained: "I'm very much okay with who I am and comfortable in my skin enough to embrace that even though I don't say everything the right way and you know, tend to be a bit impulsive with some of the words that I select."

After his controversial statement, Levine took to Twitter to explain the meanings of the words "joke", "humourless", "lighthearted" and "misunderstand".

He also apologised for his outburst in an interview with US Weekly, saying: "I obviously love my country very much and my comments last night were made purely out of frustration. Being a part of The Voice, I am passionately invested in my team and want to see my artists succeed. Last night's elimination of Judith and Sarah was confusing and downright emotional for me and my comments were made based on my personal dissatisfaction with the results."
