Selena Gomez Covers The December Issue Of Rolling Stone

Selena Gomez is on the cover of the December issue of Rolling Stone magazine. The actress/singer is on the cover to promote her new documentary, Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me. Highlights from her interview are below.

On her initial feelings on the documentary: “I’m just so nervous. Because I have the platform I have, it’s kind of like I’m sacrificing myself a little bit for a greater purpose. I don’t want that to sound dramatic, but I almost wasn’t going to put this out. God’s honest truth, a few weeks ago, I wasn’t sure I could do it.”

On her Mom inspiring her to be an actor: “She was so cool. She was like Drew Barrymore in the Nineties, with her short hair and butterfly clips. She would make her own clothes. I was like, ‘Mom, I want to do what you want to do.’ And she’s like, ‘OK, well, maybe we can put you in theater classes.’ And I was like, ‘Nope. I want to be on TV.'”

On not being able to discuss the difficult position she was in for awhile: “I never fit in with a cool group of girls that were celebrities. My only friend in the industry really is Taylor [Swift], so I remember feeling like I didn’t belong. I felt the presence of everyone around me living full lives. I had this position, and I was really happy, but … was I? Do these materialistic things make me happy? I just didn’t like who I was, because I didn’t know who I was.”
