American singer & actress (1969- )
It's not that serious
I never put that much thought into us
It wasn't that I loved you
I was curious
JENNIFER LOPEZ
"It's Not That Serious"
Don't play games with my heart
I will let you go before you start
JENNIFER LOPEZ
"It's Not That Serious"
My main priority now is that my kids are happy; that's my number-one focus in life. Are these little people happy, content, and getting everything they need? Everything after that is secondary. Before, my work was my main priority -- even above myself.

The pleasure is mine, let me give some to you
We can take our time, nothing I'd rather do
To make you feel fine, to make your life shine
Give you moments you can treasure forever
Remember the pleasure is mine, mine, mine, all mine
JENNIFER LOPEZ
"Pleasure Is Mine"
Everything I wanted before, I want twice as much now. And that doesn't mean material things; it means to explore more, to think more. Being an artist doesn't start because you're 21, and it doesn't end because you're 51. You are who you are until the day you die.

When I face myself, I go, "You have a fear of really being on your own. So you know what? That's what we're gonna do right now."

interview, Self Magazine, December 2014
I always love when everybody else is really bringing their game, because it's only going to make the movie better; it just makes you work harder and they work harder and everybody is trying to get their little bit in. It's competitive in a constructive way.

By nature I am not tough, believe it or not. I am a lover. And with my kids I am even softer.

When Ben and I split up at the moment when I thought we were committing to each other forever, it was my first real heartbreak, it felt like my heart had been torn out of my chest.

True Love
If you want to live
With all I have to give
I need to feel true love
Or it's got to end, yeah
JENNIFER LOPEZ
"If You Had My Love"
I had such a reputation, and it was sad because I felt like it so didn't represent who I really was.

"Jennifer Lopez: Venus Rising", Vogue, March 15, 2012
I don't look at people and see color and race. I see inside.

Readers Digest, August 2003
You get to a point in life where it suddenly occurs to you that you don't need all the things you once thought you did--that it's really, well, convoluted. My life feels overblown sometimes, and I don't want it to be. I want it to be streamlined. So I'm living a much more unscripted life now than I have in a long time.

interview, InStyle, April 2014
Tried to be someone I knew that I wasn't
I thought I could make myself happy with you
JENNIFER LOPEZ
"Never Gonna Give Up"
Love scenes are always weird, though. They're always uncomfortable. It's all the people around who make it uncomfortable. It's not usually the actor you're working with, because they usually feel just as weird as you do!
JENNIFER LOPEZ
interview, September 2003
I can't help but be a different person now that I've had kids. That really does change your whole perspective on life for the better. I definitely feel like I've grown up. So, I guess in a way parts of me are going to be different, but in general I'm still the same girl from the Bronx who had big dreams.

I would never speak about specifics in my own relationships because I think it's tacky. If you seriously want to know, listen to the music.

In the end, the truth finds a way to surface even if you don't want it to.

True Love
I think you need to take some time
To show me that your love is true
JENNIFER LOPEZ
"Love Don't Cost a Thing"
Emme is obsessed with makeup. She puts blush on her eyes, shadow on her face--it's very artistic. And she loves my shoes. She's been walking around in my heels ever since she was a year old.
