I’ve always had a huge fear of dying or becoming ill. The thing I’m most afraid of, though, is being alone, which I think a lot of performers fear. It’s why we seek the limelight – so we’re not alone, were adored. Were loved, so people want to be around us. The fear of being alone drives my life.”
In every movie they want you to look as thin as you can look. In Selena, it was the other way around: “How can we shoot her butt so it looks like Selena’s?”

This film The Cell certainly is not meant for the girls who sing along with my songs.”

I only do what my gut tells me to. I think it’s smart to listen to other people’s advice, but at the end of the day, you’re the only one who can tell you what’s right for you.
My mom always told me that if you work hard, you can achieve anything. And it’s true. It’s one of the truest things ever.
I think crossroads come at many times during your life. Up to this point, I’ve had several. You get to a certain point in your life and you’re like, Am I supposed to be doing this? And it’s usually in the face of some failure – something that didn’t work out the way you wanted it to. And you’re faced with a decision: Do I keep trying to do this or do I give up?
“Beauty is only skin deep. I think what’s really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit. Somebody said to me not too long ago, ‘Until you’re twenty, you have the face you are born with, and after that you have the face you deserve’, and I really loved that – the idea that you wear who you are on your face.”

“It was all a bit mad. For a girl like me, wearing gorgeous clothes and having all this attention was amazing. It was like being a princess. But it didn’t take me long to realise that that sort of fame can be scary. The more the circus builds up around you, the more you start to lose all those intentions that get you there in the first place. I was always about being a good performer and working hard, doing movies, making music, but that started to get lost in all that crazy stuff.”
“I throw myself into love because I believe in it, but when things don’t work you have to take responsibility. You all know things have gone wrong for me. Everybody has laughed, everybody has had a knock at me. It hurts, it always does. There have been times when I didn’t want to be me any more. From the outside looking in, it may have appeared that it was a glamorous exciting life, but I would have swapped places with anybody. It really did start to get to me and the easy thing to do would be to walk away.”
“I’m not J.Lo, she’s not a real person. She was just a bit of fun that got really crazy. I’ve never been anyone but Jennifer. I was going to call the album Call Me Jennifer because that would be my way of saying goodbye to the whole J.Lo thing. But Rebirth is perfect because it means so much more.”
