Selena Gomez Talks Producing '13 Reasons Why' With Her Mom

Selena Gomez has opened up with Variety about her upcoming projects in a new interview.

The 23-year-old actress dished about acting, not being your typical pop star and working with her mom, Mandy on 13 Reasons Why. Check it:

On her mom discovering 13 Reasons Why: “She’s got incredible taste in a weird, cool way. Four or five years ago, she found this book and fell in love with it. I think I was still in high school. Now we’re here. We took our time with it.”

On fighting the pop star stereotype: “I never really wanted to be on tabloids or anything like that. I think it’s wonderful now. I’ve been able to build my platform up because of who I am on the inside and just doing what I love, which is film, which is music. I’m not oblivious to that being the road bump. But I’m also prepared to keep fighting through it.”

On her role in Neighors 2: “I’m just in the beginning. I’m kind of the opposite of what Chloe Moretz would be. I’m the pompous, over-the-top obnoxious sorority president. We’re doing obnoxious things like studying in our bikinis. That’s as risqu� as we get.”
