SIMPLE EXPLANATION:
Step 1: The dust and gas from a nebula group together.
Step 2: When this group is big enough, energy is created - this group starts to shine.
Step 3: Then it reaches the size of a star.
Step 4: This star becomes a Red Giant - about 500 or more times as big as the Sun now.
Step 5: When the Red Giant runs out of its energy, it explodes as a supernova.
Step 6: This supernova leaves behind a little (50 km across) and dens star - white dwarf.
Step 7: If the Red Giant weighed at least twice as much as our sun, this white dwarf turns into a neutron star and then into a black hole. This whole step occurs in less than a minute.
(Step 8: If a really huge and dens star gets sucked into a black hole, a quasar might have formed)
Note 1: The lifecycle of a star lasts about 10-15 billions of years.
Note 2: Step 8 only may never occur in the lifecycle.

What is the relationship with mass and the end stages of stars?
As stars burn, they shed matter, becoming less massive slowly throughout their life cycle. This reduction in mass necessarily lessens their gravity, causing the stars' diameter to increase. So, many end-stage stars will be huge and bloated. Massive red giant stars are examples of this.
