More quotes by Selena
Be strong minded, and always believe that the impossible is possible.
Selena
You get a lot farther in life without drugs.
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
People are put into your life for seasons, for different reasons, and to teach you lessons.
Selena
It's important to always say thank you to your BFF.
Selena
All I need to do is try and do the best that I can do.
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 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
Anybody can be a role model, anybody can.
Selena
I'm pretty confident in who I am. I know that for parents everywhere, it's my job to be a role model, and I'm going to do the best I possibly can.
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
I like having people with me to lean on and write with and have fun with.
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
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
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
When you get hard work you get success, and we put a lot of years into it.
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
