selena blasts haters:

Selena Gomez has a message for her haters. "I get picked on by grown adults all the time," the former Disney darling, 22, told me while promoting her new indie movie, Rudderless. "It’s grown-ups and I don’t get it. It just baffles me. I wish I could just sit them down and say, ‘What were you doing at 15? What were you doing at 18? What were you doing at 21?’ Because I can guarantee you it’s not half of what I’ve done.’" Bam! Gomez said, "Trust me, it’s hard. I’ve had my moments where I’ve let them get to me but I refuse to let them win." And that means she has no plans to leave social media anytime soon. ”Maybe when I’m older, but I think right now I want to be that person for those girls and for my fans,” said Gomez, who has 23.7 million followers on Twitter, 16 million on Instagram and more than 64 million fans on Facebook. “It’s nice to be able to connect with my fans. I’m a part of it. I’m totally involved.” Directed by first-time director William H. Macy, Rudderless stars Billy Crudup as a father who discovers his son’s music after he dies in a school shooting. Macy’s wife Felicity Huffman plays Crudup’s ex-wife with Gomez in a small but important role as their son’s girlfriend. "They are not normal in this industry," Gomez says of Macy and Huffman, who have been married for 17 years. "I’ve been to their house. I’ve spent time with them and they just respect each other and they have this beautiful connection through their work…They don’t really care about all the noise, which is really refreshing." Gomez is also very impressed by Scandal. "I’m a newbie," she says. "I’m at the beginning of season two…It’s also empowering for me because I just want to do all of that. I just want to be that and I know a lot of girls feel that way. The way she’s just on it is really inspiring." As much as she loves watching television, Gomez isn’t looking for a another series of her own…at least not in the near future. "Maybe when I’m older, because I love the family and I love stability of a show but not right now," Gomez said. "I’m too young. I want to be all over the place." Rudderless is in theaters and on VOD on Oct. 17.

You mentioned you're in a transitional phase. What does that exactly mean for you? I've been acting since I was seven and I feel like I've been constantly going. I love what I do so much, but when you are figuring out who you are on top of that it's like, 'What do I want to do? What do I want to represent? What style of lyricist am I going to be?' When you're 15 and recording an album, you're not writing Adele stuff. From 15 to 22 I've experienced so much and I understand things more. Now I'm able to really incorporate my style. Music is a really powerful outlet and I've not utilized it fully yet. I have some surprises coming up with my music very, very soon and it is that side of me. And I moved into my first home I’ve ever owned this year. This year was like my college year. What was the first thing you bought for your new home? My bed. That is also extremely important. My whole bedroom was decorated before the entire house. I made it my little domain. It's very safe. So you're becoming a grown up. Some days! Some days I feel like I'm totally on board; other days I'm like, 'I need my mom! I can't do this!' It's uncomfortable, but I guess that's what our twenties are for. Is it strange that any time you do anything people immediately have a reaction online? It's so weird. I try not to pay attention to it. I don't do anything for the purpose of anyone other than my fans and myself. I love being able to post things and tell them where I am and share exciting things. But obviously it is a little weird because you want to ask all these vulgar adults who are speaking so poorly about a young girl, 'What were you doing at 18? What were you doing at 21?' That's where I end it. If you want to live your life like that, fine, but I'm going to live my life like this, and I'm going to be happy and stay positive and keep going. Have you learned anything about balancing your private personal life while being in the public spotlight? Now, being a part of the younger generation, you're always online. I can get spot-clean from the paparazzi and go away somewhere, but you've still got camera phones and Twitter. My generation is always seriously talking about everything. It's elevated. It's a little hard for me to separate sometimes, but it comes with the territory and I try to live my life the way I want to live it.
