More quotes by Selena
The reason I'm really appreciative of everything that's going on around me is because of the fact that I never expected it, and I want to keep that attitude.
Selena
I think I'm a very kindhearted person, I don't like to hurt people's feelings. If I do, it's not intentionally and I feel a lot of people nowadays have lost that.
Selena
When you get hard work you get success, and we put a lot of years into it.
Selena
Be at your best at all times.
Selena
I get so mad about ex-boyfriends, but if a boy hurts me, I don't write a song about it. They don't deserve it!
Selena
So a part of you is broken when that’s gone. And part of you wants to have that rebellious feeling where you’re just like, forget it — I can do anything I want. I’ve tried it, and I’ve never been that girl. I’m always going to be the girl you want to take home to your parents, not for the night.
Selena
I feel very proud to be Mexican. I didn't have the opportunity to learn Spanish when I was a girl, but ... it's never too late to get in touch with your roots.
Selena
What I don't like are arrogant people. We're all equal. I don't like it when a person assumes to be better.
Selena
It's important to always say thank you to your BFF.
Selena
It's overwhelming ... to know there are hundreds of kids out there that look up to me. I know that's a big responsibility. I am also very confident to say that it is wonderful and I'll do my best that I can do to be the best role model I can be.
Selena
You have to take what you could get when you're getting started.
Selena
Tejano music was hard for us because I was a girl. My dad had a lot of problems while trying to set up shows for us or presentations because there are a lot of men who don't think that women can get the attention of the public. But ... wrong!
Selena
I also don't exercise. I can't imagine exercising for two hours. Not my style.
Selena
Most of my songs are about love, I am a 16 year old teenager and I sing about what is on every girls mind. Love
Selena
I eat anything, and I'm not preoccupied with my figure. The most important [thing] is that the people accept me for my music, not for physical appearances.
Selena
The life of an artist is not all glamorous. It's a lot of work. A lot of people think that it's very easy.
Selena
Tejano music is a very relaxing style and it reminds me of home.
Selena
I'm kind of lame. I prefer quiet evenings at home, hanging out with my family.
Selena
He knew. I could see it in his face. Look, if someone gets infected you've got between ten and twenty seconds to kill them. It might be your brother or your sister or your oldest friend. It makes no difference. And just so you know where you stand - if it happens to you, I'll do it in a heartbeat.
Selena
All I need to do is try and do the best that I can do.
Selena
