Chris Brown: 'Jail has given me a completely new outlook on life'

R&B sensation Chris Brown has admitted that spending time behind bars was the wake-up call he needed in order to truly turn his life around and confront his demons. 

The 'Forever' hitmaker was released from jail back in June and he explained to On Air with Ryan Seacrest that he learned a lot from the experience:

“For me I had a lot of issues with my anger, a lot of issues with not knowing how to cope with certain situations, public scrutiny, the whole nine. But I think overtime — me being able to talk a therapist, and finding out how to deal with even my stint, and the whole rehab thing and jail — made me have a different outlook on life and really focus on a more positive scale of what I needed to be doing."

He went onto add that he wants to back up his new positive outlook with the actions that show he really has changed: "So I think with my music and everything else, it always was on a positive front, you know, happier level. But I just wanted to make sure that now it’s more me walking the walk instead of talking the talk.”
