No shoes, no shirt? No problem!

Selena Gomez tells MTV News that she wasn't bothered by the bikinis she wore in her upcoming movie "Spring Breakers."

"It was so funny," she says. "The rest of the girls were in the trailer doing crunches. I didn't mind. I didn't care. People take pictures. People already have opinions. I wasn't there for that, necessarily. I was playing a character, so I just completely indulged myself in that. So whether I was in a bathing suit or a turtleneck, I was fine."

The "Spring Breakers" character is certainly a risque role for Selena, whose fan base originated with the Disney Channel. The "Who Says" singer realized the movie, which centers on four girls who rob a restaurant to fund their trip down South, might not be appropriate for all Selenators.

"I do everything for my fans. I know that I have a younger following, and I so appreciate that, and I'm thankful for that, but I did warn them in my best ability, as I could," she says. "When I see the parents, I go, 'Maybe they don't see this one.'"

As for her older audience?

"We went to Toronto, and we premiered it at the festival, and there were girls my age who were laughing at the parts they needed to laugh at, scared at the parts they needed to be scared at," she says. "I feel like I didn't give them enough credit, because they understood what this film was. It's an art piece, and it's real, and it's so raw."

"Spring Breakers" hits theaters nationwide on March 22.
