If you've been following along lately, you might know that Big Time Rush's James Maslow has been talking a bit more about life after BTR recently and in a new interview with Smashing Interviews Magazine, James revealed some of his goals he wants to achieve before he's 30 and when he might consider settling down and having a family.
"I absolutely want a family," James said. "Being in a relationship at my age, or even at the age of some of my fans who are younger, is fantastic in many ways. You can only experience certain things when you’re with someone in a monogamous relationship, and that’s a feeling of love or compassion or whatever you can share with each other, but at the same time, I don’t plan on getting married or having children until I’m closer to 30."
"Having said that, I just feel like it’s hard to take anything at my age too, too seriously. That’s with all due respect to anybody that’s in my life," he continued. "That goes with my friends and family also that understand my work is my priority, and that’s going to be the case until I do decide to have a family because to be fair to your family that needs to be your priority, and I’m just not prepared for that at the moment. I have much bigger goals to accomplish first."
What exactly are those goals? James has made no secret in the fact that he wants to pursue film after Big Time Rush comes to an end. James says before he settles down in a relationship he hopes to be doing several films of year and still be involved in the music industry.

"My career needs to be in a place of my dreams so to speak," James said on what he hopes to accomplish. "I need to be doing several films a year and writing music for myself and writing music for other artists. Be in a place where I’m not wondering what’s the next step and actually can control my career and producing some films I’d like to be in. That’s a place I’d like to get to."
"I’m just scratching the surface of it right now," he continued. "BTR has been a fantastic stepping-stone whether it continues or not, but that’s going to take some time. I know I’ll get there, but it’s not going to be a year or two. It’s going to be several years."
