When you get hard work you get success, and we put a lot of years into it.
Selena
All I need to do is try and do the best that I can do.

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'm kind of lame. I prefer quiet evenings at home, hanging out with my family.
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 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
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
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'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
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
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
