Selena Gomezis slowing down on making music and turning her focus to acting.
The actress and singer, 31, has opened up about her career and goals in a new interview.
“I do feel like I have one more album in me but I would probably choose acting,” Gomez said on the latest episode of theSmartLesspodcast when asked about her two passions.
“I don’t think I’m the best singer but I do know how to tell stories and I love being able to make songs," she continued.

She went on to admit that her outlook has since changed. “But the older I get, the more I’m kind of like, I would like to find something to just settle on,” she said.

The “Single Soon” singer also opened up about the mental health struggles she suffered after overworking. “I went to a mental institute and canceled one of my tours,” Gomez said. “It just got to me because I love working and it distracts me from bad things.”

The star also revealed how she became interested in music while starring inWizards of Waverly Place —her breakout role on the Disney Channel.
“Disney is, it’s safe to say, a machine and, in a way, forcefully requires that I know how to sing so I could sing the theme song [of a show]. They know how to package someone and make it a whole triple threat thing,” she said.
