The young star, who is part of a band called ``Selena Gomez and The Scene``, recently won plaudits for her role of a mistaken socialite in ``Monte Carlo`` and her second album ``When the Sun Goes Down`` is already climbing the charts.
Admitting that child stars have extra pressure while growing up, Gomez says she takes one day at a time.
"It`s important for me to grow and evolve. I feel that I`ve done my best and that`s how I am. What matters the most is that my family, friends and fans are proud of me. Even though I have finished with Disney channel, I cannot disown the fact that I may still have a younger generation looking up to me," Gomez told media in an email interview.
"I haven`t accomplished that just yet. I`m still in the phase of transition," she adds.
Paparazzi is taking an interest in Gomez and her 17-year-old boyfriend but the singer-actress says her way of handling such things is to remain normal.
"I try not to hide or live my life as per what people say about me. I try my best to stay as normal as I can. There is pressure but I love my fans and everything I do is for them.
It`s the paparazzi that make it difficult," says Gomez when quizzed about the focus on her relationship.
Talking about her new album, which debuted at Number 4 on the Billboard 200 album chart in the US, Gomez says it is very empowering. The song ``Who Says`` has already become a youth anthem and Gomez is particularly proud of the track.
