Gomez continued, “It is all part of my story. I am growing and changing. I was in a relationship, and I was being managed by my parents, and I was still under Hollywood and Disney, and I was being held to this expectation of being the good girl.”

“I knew deep down that this was not what I wanted to do – being exhausted of forcing something that was not right, even in my personal life. I had to have moments where I was crying and I was like, ‘Why am I not in love with what I do?’ I was forced to get very uncomfortable for a while in order to make the decisions I made.”
She added, “I definitely remind myself that I am in control. I feel like ultimately if I sit down and think about a decision I need to make, it is really within myself. I make the decision, everything goes through me.”
