  7. That's my word. That's my word. And I think when I went on tour right here in this arena, I said to everybody, you know, you need to understand and believe that you can do anything you want, that we are truly limitless. That was part of the Torah. Part of me turning 50, part of what I realized in that year or two before There really are no limits. The only limits are the ones that you put on yourself, the ones that you create in your mind. And when you pull all that away, sky's the limit. The sky is not the limit. It's not the limit.

  9. I have so many affirmations that I do, and I've done affirmations for a long, long time. I feel like they really do. I believe that how you think and I teach my kids this, your thoughts create your life. And so you have to think positive thoughts all the time. You have to force yourself to think positive thoughts at times. And so I do a lot of different affirmations. I do am open and receptive to all the goodness and abundance the universe has to offer. I am in perfect health. My children are in perfect health. We are safe. We are whole. I am whole. I am good on my own. I love myself. I love you, Jennifer. I love the universe. The universe loves me.

Oscar Snub Super Bowl being what it is, all of the things that I went through in the last year in the best way and in the toughest ways. Kind of being let down that you go. Oh my God, I don't need that. I'm actually here and I'm okay and I am enough. I don't need this award right here to tell me I'm enough. I don't need that.

    2020-03-04 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Jennifer Lopez: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  12. And that's the thing that happened. I think what happened with the Super Bowl, with this whole entire year, with nominated all that getting nominated for all these awards and then not getting the Oscar thing. I had to kind of reexamine. I'm like, well, why do you do this? What are you so sad about right now? You just had the most amazing year of your life. You just had the biggest opening of a movie in your career. You just walk the runway in Milan and had a fashion moment. You just, like, you're doing the Super Bowl in a couple weeks. What is it? And you realize that you want people's validation. You want people's to say you did a good job. And I just realized I was like, no, you don't need that. You do this because you love it.

  13. You could not have done I think, like you said, as you get more mature, as you get older, as you have this experience, this wisdom on you, you have this life on you, you become a better artist. You really do. You become a better singer, you become a better performer, you come better at connecting with people, you become a better actress because you've lived. You need that life. And some people are talented actors from the time they were very young. And I was a good actress always. I can say that now. Myself, you know, but what I do now is so much different than what I did then. And it's more fun for me because I'm more confident with it.

More than ever in my career, and there was a lot of like, she's gonna get nominated for Oscar, it's gonna happen. If she doesn't, you're crazy. And I'm reading all the articles and I'm going, oh my God, could this happen? And then it didn't. I was like, ouch. It was a little bit of a letdown. Also, I felt like my whole team, like I said, most of my team has been with me for years, 20, 25 years. I think they had a lot of hopes on that. Like they wanted it too. And I felt like I let everybody down a little bit.

  19. You see, I tried to start with a codon. Like I was like, this would be nice, trying to convince the director. She's like, okay, but you got to lose it right away. I was like, no, no, no, I will, I will, I will. But it was more exposed physically and emotionally than I had ever done in a movie. So it was as I'm walking to the stage on that day, I'm literally with my producing partner, Elaine Goldsmith Thomas, and she's behind me. And we're up into the set like we do 10 times a day when you're making a movie back to the trailer, back and forth. And they're like, you ready? I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, so ready. And I turned to Elaine and I go, I'm nervous. She goes, Nervous. And I go, Yeah, I'm scared.

We're fine. But I have like three pairs of tights on. And I'm like, you know what I mean? And there's mesh all through the arms. We're really covered. That's why I was a little bit with the super bowl. I was like, okay, I was so covered like so much. It was like having a wetsuit on. It was that thick. But with hustlers, you know, when you're an actress, it's a totally different thing. You know, I'm in my comfort zone being myself when I'm on stage as Jennifer. When I'm playing a character like Ramona, who was basically a lifetime stripper, she started when she was very young. In my mind, I created all this.

  22. Man, a couple weeks. Couple weeks. I felt like I had got hit by a truck after the Super Bowl. And I think it was because I started filming hustlers. I started working on hustlers of February before. So a year ago. And I went from hustlers to the tour to hustlers coming out, to filming a movie that I just did called Marry Me. To the Super Bowl and nonstop. So I think once I was just like trying to get to the Super Bowl and finish. And when I finish, I literally the next day, I look so crazy. And I could not move from the bed like my legs weren't working. They weren't working. It was done. That's because they had worked.

  26. Okay, yeah. And I said yes, like right away. It was just like a split second. And then I was like, yes, whatever you need. Of course I'll do that for you. And I didn't really think about it. But then when I wore it and I put it on and I was like, oh my God, I feel... Stronger now. I'm in better shape now than I was then. And so I'm backstage doing that And I had never walked in a runway show So that was my first time really doing that. So I was like, what is this like? You know what I mean? So I had a little bit of butterflies. And it was a surprise on top of that. So, you know, when you're part of a big surprise? And she was like, everybody's going to go crazy.

And when I met her, Gianni had just passed away. And so she was devastated and it took her a long time to recover from that, if you ever really recover from something like that. But I just have such an affinity for her. And so that has always lived with us.

But it wasn't that. It was like, no, they really liked him. Max even said something. I remember this conversation with him, even though it's like now three years ago now. He said something like, no, Alex is the only one who doesn't ever get mad at me. Because Max's won't get in trouble in the house. And he's like, he's the only one who never gets mad at me. Like, he had so much patience with him because he's all over the place. And he's the most beautiful boy and the most loving boy, but he will knock this over in a second. You know what I mean?

That's how we were raised, especially Latinos. Everybody comes before you. I'm last. I'll eat last. I'll get dressed last. I didn't even take a shower. It's fine. How you're raised, and you need, you come to the realization that, oh, it's not that. I actually have to take care of myself so I can take care of everybody else better.

And I wanted her to just do opening weekend, which was the two LA shows. And she wound up singing it. We were on tour for like 30 shows. And I was like, you don't have to do it every night. She was on tour with me anyway. And she's like, I want to. And she would come out every night and do her little part. And it was a very special part of the show, but we had choreographed it without her just in case she didn't want to do it. But she did it every single night and she enjoys it. So I knew the Super Bowl was even a smaller part for her. And I didn't want to, and when I asked her, I said, if you don't want to do this, again, you don't have to do it. And she's like,
