Selena Gomez's Quotes

• Be yourself always, there's no one better!
• I was never the girl who thought I need to make sure I look like all the other girls. I think you look best when you stand out.
• [on having her own band] I'm going to be in a band--no Selena Gomez stuff. I'm not going to be a solo artist. I think that I don't want my name attached to it. I basically want to make music that is fun and that parents and kids can jump around to and have a good time to.
• I wanted to be like my friends. I hung out with girls who had blue eyes and blond hair and I thought, "I want to look like them!".
• [on declaring she will remain a virgin until marriage] I said, "Dad, I want a promise ring". He went to the church and got it blessed. He actually used me as an example for other kids. I'm going to keep my promise to myself, to my family and to God.
