I’m young: I’ve lived my life in the public eye, and I’ve had to figure out how to do that. Then, it was frustrating to see how the media was portraying me it was defamation of character. I was really fighting for this transition. I had multiple revelations and big accomplishments in my life: a new label and a new team I’ve been working out more and focusing on my music and I got to do a couple of movies. This has been a transitional season for me, personally and in my career.
You recently tweeted that you’re disappointed with interviews that are basically the same as the ones that were printed when you were 16-that you wish the media would talk about who you are now.

She also says that in the past year she signed with a new label (Interscope) and manager, wrapped five films (including The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving with Paul Rudd and The Big Short with Brad Pitt) and, for the first time, executive-produced her own album. With a voice that sounds as deep and rich as barrel-aged bourbon and a plucky sense of self-awareness, she tells me she’s fighting hard to be seen for her accomplishments rather than for her very famous ex, whom neither of us mention by name. After talking to the 23-year-old singer, actor and Pantene ambassador, there’s no doubt: Gomez is in control. A beautiful baby bird caught out in a storm-or at least that’s how I imagined her. It’s her adorable heart-shaped face, the way she sometimes tears up mid-performance, almost a decade’s worth of paparazzi footage in which she’s just trying to get to her car, guys, plus a tender and tumultuous young love played out in spectacular fashion at the dawn of the social media age.
