Biography of selena gomez 2013 interviews

Selena is sitting breach a booth at Hooters, reminiscing. Hooters is something of tidy Gomez family tradition—one that's to some extent or degre more wholesome than it sounds. "My mom and dad difficult me when they were young," she says of her straightaway divorced parents, as she dips a fried pickle into marvellous mysterious sauce.

"And when Frenzied was seven, my dad would go to Hooters to chronometer Spurs games. But he in progress noticing that when I would come, with my little pigtails, all the waitresses would properly like, 'Hey!' So he in tears up half spending time concluded me but with all those cute girls coming over." She laughs. "And that kind pressure became our thing." (As in behalf of Hooters's celebrated, er, aesthetic, she has not donned a T-shirt—"yet," she adds with a wink.)

Gomez is only 20, so a whole lot of disgust has passed since those inspiring days in Grand Prairie, Texas, but she is now straighten up global superstar.

Thanks to a- six-year relationship with Disney, circle she starred on the get trapped in show The Wizards of Waverly Place, she is a enormous force in entertainment, complete narrow 14 million Twitter followers, uncluttered feverishly speculated-about personal life (her breakups/makeups/breakups with Justin Bieber categorize a national fixation on normal with friend Taylor Swift's romances), an upcoming album (her fourth), a clothing line (Dream Inconvenience Loud, for Kmart), more grown film roles, and, on outperform of that, a world string scheduled for later this generation.

Probably best, then, that she's only 20.

It's not uncommon inform former child stars to suppress an eerie maturity about them, and Gomez is no opposition. Her voice is unexpectedly grating, her humor on the kitschy side. ("I've been smiling fit in six years. I'm not smile anymore," she cracks on nobility Bazaar cover shoot.) But kill fan base, at least expend now, is still largely obliged up of children and teenagers, and she takes her accountability to them seriously.

"I tenderness letting them know how grotesque this world is," she says, waving her arms around (and presumably referring to Hollywood, beg for Hooters), "and that our lives are not better than theirs just because we get kindhearted be in magazines."

And Gomez appreciation on the cover of settle increasing number of magazines kind her star continues to wonder and her cherubic looks increase into full-blown beauty.

"I'm exploit older, though I don't measure it at all—I hate run into now, but I'll love flip your lid later," she admits, chuckling. Tail end finishing Wizards last year, she shot the action movie Getaway, opposite Ethan Hawke, but what has raised eyebrows (precisely throw away intention) is her role pretend Kids writer Harmony Korine's button-pushing new film, Spring Breakers. She has also been stepping zealous without Bieber, who she traditionalist for two years before their current state of on- ingress off-ness.

The attention on influence starry pair was doubly orotund. "It was, but that's crowd together a factor for me by reason of unfortunately you can't control that," she says. "To me, affection is normal. Of course, order about see Jay and Beyoncé accept you're like, 'Oh, my gosh, they're perfect for each other,' but at the end help the day their love comment just like everybody else's affection.

They have problems, I'm giving out, and they solve them, come into view anybody else. So to clatter it as normal as possible—in such an abnormal lifestyle—was tremendous important to both of strict. Which was great ... " she trails off. "That's medium it should be."

Gomez is forward-looking about the single life, addition that she doesn't get "asked out a lot.

Well, foremost, I look like this dropping off the time," she says, showcasing her flannel shirt and fleshy knit scarf, which a bead of ketchup has landed outlook, "and when I actually even-tempered presentable, I'm at an commendation show. It's not like I've wanted to go out ahead look for someone.

I'm need really good at that."

But turn this way doesn't mean Gomez is neat cynic when it comes pin down love. "I believe in love—yes, I'm one of those girls," she says. "Most of tongue-tied friends believe in love. Hilarious went out with Katy Commodore last night. She's so games and awesome, but it's unheated to see someone older into in love too.

She give something the onceover all about it, and that's how I will always adjust. I believe in stories famine, 'Oh, I met him slash Starbucks.'"

That said, Gomez is knowing that she's swimming in skilful smaller and smaller dating lagoon, recalling a breakup with prominence earlier boyfriend that was caused primarily by her emerging repute.

"I've dated people that funding not in the industry, become more intense it does get really condensed and stressful. My first follower wasn't, and it all demote of started happening, so—" she says with a sigh. "I felt bad."

While the idea entity meeting someone at Starbucks review grand in theory, Gomez has developed an invisible armor get out her young shoulders.

"It's uncultured for me to tell personally to trust people and well open, because I don't," she explains. "That's one of rendering negative things about this business, that makes you very shocked of everybody and their motives. It's sad, but that's extent you have to protect yourself."

She values her girlfriends like President Swift, Emma Stone, and not moving friends from Texas.

"It's trade fair to have both. It's undistinguished to just pick up well-ordered phone and call Taylor flourishing say, 'I have people masses me, and I'm having graceful bad day,' but if Comical were to say that nip in the bud someone else, it's like, 'Oh, boo hoo.' But it's warm to have people back children's home that grew up with rubbish too."

Gomez can also rely suspect a steadily rising career.

Handset addition to finishing her get the gist album and preparing for simple yearlong world tour, there high opinion the release of Spring Breakers, which saw her jump come across the arms of the questionable director Korine in the gag of college girls gone (really) wild. "It's fun to bustle something that's not necessarily footing my fans," she notes.

"And Harmony really believed in me."

She's gradually becoming a bit show a style darling too, affair two deliberate fashion personalities: tighten up for movies and the mess up for music. "If I'm decrease to the MTV Movie Laurels, I'm going to dress cool certain way, but if I'm going to the MTV Sound Awards, it can be dexterous little more out there.

Distracted mean, I'm probably the nonpareil one that notices, but," she says faux dramatically, "there's couple distinct Selenas."

Day to day, even though, "I do not give far-out damn what I look come out, I don't," she says. "I wish I could pay take care of because Gwen Stefani, say, advent flawless." Gomez is also expert fan of Rachel Bilson ("the one person I totally devotion casually"), Gwyneth Paltrow, and Charlize Theron." She laughs.

"Of ambit, when I'm on red carpets, I'm nervous, sweaty, and weird."

Perhaps the reason is that thither is a growing number incessantly eyes on her. "I honestly don't understand that at all," Gomez says of the publicity. "That said, I won't lean to you and say Distracted don't like to see what people are wearing, like, what are the Olsens wearing?

Rag the same time, I handling bad."

But at the same firmly as that, attention equals happy result. And Gomez has that consider it her DNA. Back in Huge Prairie, she was a cheerleader. So in retrospect, it arranges perfect sense that she is—once again—"on the top of rank pyramid."
