Selena
You get a lot farther in life without drugs.
Selena
I also don't exercise. I can't imagine exercising for two hours. Not my style.
Selena
I love Friends, so I try to bring Jennifer Aniston's mannerisms to my show.
Selena
You have to take what you could get when you're getting started.
Selena
Be at your best at all times.
Selena
When you get hard work you get success, and we put a lot of years into it.
Selena

Tejano music is a very relaxing style and it reminds me of home.
Selena
People are put into your life for seasons, for different reasons, and to teach you lessons.
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
Anywhere in the world you go, you find racism, discrimination. Not just in the United States, or in Texas. It's very sad for me, but that's the way it is. I can't change the world by myself. I, being Hispanic, have also faced discrimination. But … the world keeps turning.
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
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
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
All I need to do is try and do the best that I can do.
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
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
Who says, who says you're not perfect? Who says you're not worth it? Who says you're the only one that's hurting? Trust me, that's the price of beauty, who says you're not pretty? Who says you're not beautiful?... Who says?
Selena
