00:00I know, it's crazy. I'm so excited to see Ice School Musical 2. I'm a huge fan.
00:04Oh, wait. I'm not with her.
00:09Jennifer, do you like school?
00:12No.
00:13Did you sing?
00:15No, that was actually a part of the audition.
00:18But I got to perform a little thing and I sent it to California and they flew me out.
00:23And they flew you out?
00:24So awesome. I love going back to Texas because I can definitely just throw my phone away.
00:28But it's nice because I get home and everyone's like, oh, Selena, we missed you. It's so good to see
00:32you.
00:32And then the next day they'll be like, all right, so when are you leaving?
00:36Honestly, I love people who are really confident in themselves and free.
00:39I love Nicki Minaj. I love Eminem. I love Katy Perry.
00:43They're just all about being themselves and I love that.
00:45I'll be at the Teen Choice Awards this year. It's actually on my birthday.
00:49I'm going to go to dinner with my family.
00:50Some of my grandparents are coming in from Texas, so it'll just be nice, family time.
00:55You know, people like him maybe not want to take a chance on someone like me.
00:59So I flew to Nashville, flew to his house, knocked on his door and auditioned for him and wanted the
01:04part.
01:05And he gave it to me.
01:06I feel like I have been doing this so long that I think people tend to forget that, you know,
01:11they're all like, be yourself, be yourself.
01:13And I'm still trying to figure out who that is.
01:16So I know I'm not perfect, but I know that I have a lot of people that support me and
01:21love me.
01:21So tonight I'm doing kind of a medley. One of my songs is called Hands to Myself.
01:26And then the second is Me and My Girls, which is perfect for this evening.
01:31Me and My Girls wasn't going to be single at all. It's actually on the deluxe version.
01:36Well, I've kind of been focusing on the tour at the moment and new music has been happening at the
01:42same time.
01:42So I don't know what order it'll be, but the tour is the focus for sure.
01:47Treat others how you wish to be treated.
01:49What's a good rule you've learned from your parents?
01:52Everyone is equal and everything happens for a reason.
01:55Whatever.
01:56I used to a lot, but I think it's just become really unhealthy.
01:59I think personally for young people, including myself, to spend all of their time fixating on all these comments and
02:07letting this stuff in.
02:09And it was effective.
02:09It's been four years, four and a half years now before I've released anything.
02:13Are you happy it's finally out?
02:15Yes, I am very happy.
02:17I think I was holding my breath for four years and then finally I just exhaled.
02:23I always knew they were involved, but I got a call and I just, I don't know, I love true
02:29crime and I just, I had this, I don't know, the concept just was so cool and I enjoyed working
02:35with both of them.
02:36Growing up in the spotlight has definitely taught me so much.
02:41I can't believe that I'm where I am mentally just because how I took the necessary steps in order to
02:49kind of remove myself from that.
02:51And I fully enjoyed it, but I think I've been really enjoying the process of being 30 and, you know,
02:59learning to put up with things that I can and just caring about who I surround myself with.
03:06It's been kind of a journey.
03:08More than over, overall, I hope that it doesn't hinder my performance and I'm really grateful for the opportunity.
03:17Perhaps I could have had more time with it.
03:20It just felt so right.
03:22So I was, I don't think I've ever been this proud of something in the acting field.
03:30Here's one thing that I thought was cruel is that's when I eat everything.
03:34And then the moment this week starts, we all have to go on red carpets.
03:38And I'm like, wait a minute.
03:40I just ate my whole life away.
03:42Oh, yeah.
03:42I just ate my whole life away.
03:43I just ate my whole life away.
03:43¡Gracias!
