“Being in the studio is my absolute favorite thing.”

There was a time in my career when I felt like I wasn’t being true to myself. I was being moulded into an artist I wasn’t, and I knew I had to do everything I wanted to do. I think that’s an issue a lot of women face, and men do have it easier in a lot of ways.

I think my fans inspire me a lot. They’re a huge part of my career. I wouldn’t be where I am without them, so I try to feed off what they’re going through. I read their tweets and Instagrams.

Every time I feel like I’m gaining a bit of weight, I’ll eat healthily for, like, 3 days. Then I’ll be like, ‘Oh, I look skinny again.’ Then I’ll go back to eating bad, but I tell myself it’s OK, I’m only 19, so I can do it while I can.

I’m very much focused on my career.

I feel like, with makeup, I really picked it up on my own. There’s no one really in my family – my grandma is probably the closest – who loves makeup like I do.

It’s fine if you doubt me. Underestimate me, because then I’ll just impress you, you know.

The song ‘Tyler Durden’ is about the movie ‘Fight Club,’ so obviously, it’s not a personal experience, but I love that song. It’s my favorite song.

There will be slow songs, sad songs, happy songs, songs about boys, and songs about being who you are. I’m making sure I’m happy with all of the songs, because if I am not happy with them, I can’t expect anyone else to be, you know?

I think it’s important for people to be themselves and express themselves through their makeup or their hair or their perfume or whatever it may be.

I’m more eager to have kids than I am to go back to college. I want to be a mom really badly.

I always make sure my lashes look cute.

Something that I’ve learned to love about myself is my freckles. I used to absolutely hate them; I even looked into ways I could get them removed.

I’m so proud of ‘As She Pleases.’ It’s a really personal record, and I put so much of myself into it that; it feels like I am sharing part of my soul with the world by releasing it.

People think Selena and The Weeknd are dating for publicity, and that’s not how things works. These are real human beings. They don’t just date to get more famous. They’re already the most famous artists!

I could count on one hand how many times I’ve worked out.

It’s your career, your face, your name. You have to be in control because if something gets messed up or something doesn’t look how you want it to, you’re the only one to blame.
