Selena Gomez quotes about
I wore combat boots for two albums, then I went into more of the sparkle and glamour. The older that I've become, I've felt very connected to fashion, especially this past year working with [stylist] Kate Young and creating these relationships with people that I never had before.
I hadn't really been in that world for too long. It was fun for me, but definitely wasn't my world. When I went to my first Paris Fashion Week, I had been invited to the Louis Vuitton show by Nicolas. We met there. It was all organic and fun for me.
My first big career purchase when I was, like, 17 was a Louis Vuitton laptop bag. Now, seeing the exhibit [Louis Vuitton's "Series 3" exhibition in London], it's exciting because I feel like I kind of know it. It's weird - it's almost like something you grow up with and you just know a little bit about it. Now that I'm immersed in it, it's kind of insane.
I have to admit, at first, it was really overwhelming and I would get stressed about putting things together. Now, it's like trying to figure out a puzzle piece, and I love that...There are so many things that I don't even know and would love to discover more about. I was so upset I had to leave [Europe] before Paris Fashion Week, but then I was like..."Oh wait, my album is coming out."
Artistically, you want to be able to do a lot of things that can challenge you to not just stay in the same thing.
I try my best to be a good person and be the best I can be.
It's important just to be yourself. And probably stay out of trouble.
I got my first car when I was 16, but I didn't have a license. It was a Ford Escape. And I just let it sit there for two years, because I enjoyed having my mom drive me.
I think regular school is harder than my job. You have to deal with kids picking on you, and you wanting to look good and all this stuff. It was way too much pressure.
You have different people who come into your life and they affect you in a way and leave an impact on you. Whether it's projects or friends or directors, it's just an opportunity that people give me.
I constantly find myself changing my mind all the time. One day, I want to do just acting and just that. One day I want to do music and just that.
I tend to not speak up as much, so saying no is rather difficult for me. The biggest step of being an adult is saying, "This is what I do like. This is what I don't like." Being yourself means certain people aren't going to like that. I'm still figuring it out and taking things day by day.
I always want to push myself, even though I'm not in the entire thing. My friend Taylor says, "If you're the smartest person in the entire room, you're in the wrong room."
I'm super laid back. I'm from Texas. I love my family.
