Bruno Mars Talks Arrest for Cocaine Possession

"I don't know…it was a picture," he quips of his ear-to-ear grin in the criminal pic.

Still, Bruno learned from the difficult experience, which ultimately inspired him to work even harder.

"'I can take this s--t away from you, young man.' That was the lesson," he says. "You've slaved away for years and years and years. You've prepped your whole life. It's all you know how to do. You're a kid experiencing life in f--king Sin City, and that was the lesson: It can all be taken away."

Are you listening, Lindsay Lohan?
