The 31-year-old singer opened up about his career path, failures and how he hopes to be remembered in the future, reported E! Online.
"Those days (were bad), but in a beautiful way. Without getting dropped, I might not be here. All of these things you have to go through. It ain't easy. If it was easy everyone would be doing it.
"The worst absolute moment was telling everybody I got dropped. I'm broke. I'm in debt. Walking into a room saying, 'Yeah, I'm a signed Motown artist,' then walking in and saying, 'I'm a dropped Motown artist.' But I'm not blaming anybody over there," he said.
Mars also said he hopes that he will be remembered by his fans for his music and not for any "scandals or controversy".
"I hope that my music does the talking. I just wanna do music. It could be boring for people this day and age, but I don't wanna be known for no scandals or controversy.
