It’s a real roller-coaster ride if you’re lucky to have longevity in this business – you have to be able to ride those waves.

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.

The bear is what we all wrestle with. Everybody has their bear in life. It’s about conquering that bear and letting him go.

In your 20’s you think you know everything. In your 30’s you find out you know nothing. And in your 40’s you realize you’re not perfect and that’s okay.
And I deal with all that by being like a perfectionist. But that’s okay.
I remember when I was 33 or 34, it was devastating because I realized I wasn’t a kid anymore. The great thing about 40 was that I really felt like I had life experience and knew what I was doing now.
I am human, and of course, sometimes I make mistakes. But I promise that when I fall, I get back up. When I am wrong, I will learn the lesson and move on to face other challenges. For me, that’s what creating your own life is. Doing your best work while being your best self.

The truth is, everything that’s happened was supposed to happen. That doesn’t mean I don’t look back and think, God, I wish I hadn’t had to go through some of those things.
I judge people on how they smell, not how they look.
When you have children, you realise you can’t plan anything. There’s no Plan A, no Plan B. Life will happen and you will go with it.
I am positive – determined to move forward with my life, bring up my babies, and do the best job I can as a mother, entertainer, and person.
Jennifer Lopez quotes about love, relationship
The best partner you can have is someone who makes you want to be the best form of yourself.
I love a long bath. I love anything creative. I love decorating. I even love just flipping through magazines and vegging out for a while. But I’m also one of those people who loves to work, so I’ll sing, dance, work on my next performance, or write whomever it may be about a new idea.
I seriously feel like the best days are ahead, and I like the idea of getting to do everything

You’ve got to love yourself first. You’ve got to be okay on your own before you can be okay with somebody else.

Always remember, you will live, you will love, you will dance again.

If you don’t love yourself, you can’t love anybody else. And I think as women we really forget that.
I have my own high standards for what I want in a partner and how I want to be treated. I bring a lot to the table. I’m not talking about material things but what I have to offer as a person – love and loyalty and all the things that make a good relationship.
People equate sexy with promiscuous. They think that because I’m shaped this way, I must be scandalous – like running around and bringing men into my hotel room. But it’s just the opposite.
If you kiss on the first date and it’s not right, then there will be no second date. Sometimes it’s better to hold out and not kiss for a long time. I am a strong believer in kissing being very intimate, and the minute you kiss, the floodgates open for everything else.
Jennifer Lopez quotes about family
Early on, my family really made me love who I was and what I looked like.
My parents wanted me to be a lawyer. But I don’t think I would have been very happy. I’d be in front of the jury singing.
I watched my parents. My dad worked nights, and I was aware of how much he was doing for us. My mom was a Tupperware lady and also worked at the school. I always felt that I couldn’t let them down. And I had a natural discipline from early on. I was always training for something.
I think a lot about teaching my kids to work hard.
Early on, my family really made me love who I was and what I looked like.
Your friend mourns your losses with you because they experience them too. The truth is, no matter how lonely you might feel, you’re never going through anything alone, you can choose your family.

I met so many men and it’s like their all the same. My appetite for lovin’ is now my hunger pain. And when I’m feelin’ sexy, who’s gonna comfort me? My only problem is their insecurity.
— Jennifer Lopez (I’m Real remix lyrics, 2000)
