More quotes by 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
Anybody can be a role model, anybody can.
Selena
It's important to always say thank you to your BFF.
Selena
I also don't exercise. I can't imagine exercising for two hours. Not my style.
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
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'm kind of lame. I prefer quiet evenings at home, hanging out with my family.
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
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
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
All I need to do is try and do the best that I can do.
Selena
Be strong minded, and always believe that the impossible is possible.
Selena
I like having people with me to lean on and write with and have fun with.
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
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
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
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
People are put into your life for seasons, for different reasons, and to teach you lessons.
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
Tejano music is a very relaxing style and it reminds me of home.
Selena
