I wasn’t the most popular girl in class, I had my friends, but I was comfortable with myself. There’s always those most popular girls and I wasn’t one of those.
I like to maintain a certain sense of fantasy in my life.
When I was young, I was just about hard work. But as I got older, I did experience anxiety, doubt, judgment, and it’s so easy to lose yourself for a second.
The best part of having two babies at once, a son and a daughter, is mostly everything. You’re just having that feeling of love inside you all the time and motherhood is such a fulfilling place to be. I kind of wish it would have happened to me earlier in my life.
I’ll just get better as I go along because I’m open to getting better. If you have the goods, there’s nothing to be afraid of. If somebody doesn’t have the goods, they’re insecure. I don’t have that problem.
You have to fight for the things you want.
Jennifer Lopez has been very much in the news because of her divorce from Marc Anthony, also a top singer, a top player in Latin music, her joining the cast of judges on “American Idol.” But the music has not been at the forefront.
It’s like being in the middle of a tornado. It’s like, whooooooosh, you know what I’m saying? It’s like Dorothy-you wake up and find yourself in the land of Oz.
I don’t get anything for free. I pay for all my beauty treatments.
Coming up, at 89 years old, acclaimed sculptor Gerson Frank was finally able to marry his longtime partner, Bill. Their relationship has covered three decades and seen many changes in gay rights, but Gerson never viewed himself as an activist.
You can’t let the fear of what people might say or think stop you from doing what you want to do or else we would never do anything.
I’m feeling lucky like a four-leaf clover.
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.
I love working with the singers. I love just finding them.
I’m very into positive thinking. The minute I feel nervousness or anxiety or fear, I go, “No, no, that’s not a thought that I need to have right now. Everything’s great, everything’s good, you’re going to be fine.”
I did ballet, jazz and flamenco from when I was five years old. And my professional career started with dancing in musicals.
I always have to work hard to find a way to disconnect from the thinking until it becomes second nature to me because that’s where you find the best moments. Dancing is like that for me all the time. It makes me feel free.
I’m grateful for everything I have. I’m grateful for it all. I’m grateful for love most of all because I have a lot of it in my life.
I went to Catholic school for 12 years and went to church every Sunday. I may not do that anymore but I think it gave me a good basis. I’ve also explored things on my own different philosophies and spiritual teachings and I use what works for me.
I think that’s what a partnership is – you take the positives from both people and incorporate them.
When we graduated from college and law school, we had a mountain of debt.
