Selena Gomez

“I didn't think I was doing anything bad by falling in love.”

“I don't really like dressing up. Some people probably think actresses dress up everywhere they go. I'm in sweatpants half the time with my hair in a ponytail.”

“I don't really have a structured path of wanting to say, 'This is what I'll do next.' I'm just going to read a bunch of scripts and see which one I love. There are so many things I would love to play, in all different genres.”

“I love being able to work with other artists I admire, but I have a lot to do on my own before I am willing to make it all about embracing other people.”

“The day I got my first letter from a fan, I felt like I'd been touched by an angel.”

“I love what I do, I can't imagine doing anything else, but ultimately, my goal is to be happy and have a family. That's my life.”

“Every day, I start with a workout; I do vocal lessons, I do piano lessons.”

“I still feel like I'm the girl from Texas.”

“I think it's healthy to gain a perspective on who you are deep down, question yourself, and challenge yourself; it's important to do that.”

“For a while, my private life was the most talked about thing.”

“My mom always told me if I love what I'm doing, and I'm having fun, then just continue to do it. But if it's not fun for me anymore, and I'm miserable, then I'm going to go back to Texas and quit it all, to be honest.”

“My attention span is all over the place, and I overthink things. I'm an insomniac.”

“I love traveling and touring, but I have to bring the little things that make me feel at home.”

“People are so terrified of other people. I see it in my generation a lot. There's so much anxiety and angst, and the pressure just keeps getting worse.”

“I've said a lot of things: I've said I'm never going to date someone in the business and that I'm never going to date someone outside the business.”

“I'm young: I've lived my life in the public eye, and I've had to figure out how to do that.”

“I don't actually like dates. I get awkward as I never know what to do.”

“I love inspiring people, and I love making good music, but I don't stress about it. I don't think I'm ever going to win a Grammy, and I'm OK with that.”

“You fall in love, and it completely consumes you.”

“My family and I want to start our own organization to work on global warming and a couple of other things.”
