Author of quotes: Selena Gomez

Sometimes I still feel like I'm 15 years old and want to feel comfortable in my body and my skin.

I have a great family, great friends, and my mom looks like a mother bear. She'll tell me no when everyone around me says yes.

I think that friends should support each other. We Taylor follow this rule. We've been friends for five years. She is very strong. She doesn't care what people think and she inspires me.

If I have questions and problems, I usually go to the mother. She is very good at helping me. I'm definitely my mother's daughter.

I can do everything Jesus Christ makes me stronger.

All the people who are trying to break me, make me stronger.

Never allow yourself to humiliate.

You inspire me to be better. We need to inspire each other to make us better.

I hate it. [meet] Is difficult. Annoying me the thought that the guy googled me before the meet, and so it is.

Success means nothing if you don't someone to share it; you can just be alone.

If you don't have a perfect body, that doesn't mean you're not beautiful. Ignore all the negative words in your address. They even wish about it. You can move mountains, you're beautiful, and you cope with all that stuff!

Real friends will say the most painful words, but they say it with the best intentions. I am happy that these friends surround me.

This year I really started to feel powerful. I was on the Disney channel with Miley [Miley Cyrus], the Jonas Brothers and demi [demi Lovato]. Even despite the fact that my show was a success, it seemed to me that I work very hard but see no result. I doubted how well I look, play, sing, write. I lost interest in his music when he realized that doing it primarily for others and not for yourself. When I turned 20, I went through a pretty bad break and realized that was supposed to take over. Then I recorded the "Come & Get It", and it was amazing. I wanted to have success, because tired of feeling like a loser. All this time I was trying to figure out why I felt like such a loser, and realized that I just wasn't ready. Still, I'm glad it happened to me because it helped me become who I am. And now I'm ready.

You don't have to fear what people say about you, because it is impossible to please everyone. Girls are afraid to talk about what they want. But when you don't like something, you have to say about it. I learned that from demi. Just to say out loud is the first step in getting rid of fear. It took me a long time, so I could just say what I want, even my parents. I'm tired of beating around the Bush and realized that the best way to tell it straight. It's not easy, but necessary. Just say, "No, this is not the best option," instead of aggressive.
