It wasn’t the summer season Jennifer Lopez hoped for. A canceled tour, the top of a marriage, and an web pile-on that felt significantly brutal, even to an entertainer who has actually performed and seen all of it. But that is J.Lo, an unshakeable drive, an immovable object, un-knock-down-able, even when she would possibly sometimes stumble. So the place is she at the moment, and the way have the previous few months modified her? After a summer season of relative silence, the comic Nikki Glaser discovered a Jennifer Lopez who was greater than prepared to speak.

TUESDAY 1 PM SEPT. 10, 2024 L.A.
NIKKI GLASER: Hello!
JENNIFER LOPEZ: Hi!
GLASER: How are you?
LOPEZ: I’m sorry, babe. I used to be ending this different factor. It went a little longer than I believed.
GLASER: No, you’re good. I’m good. I’m oddly nervous.
LOPEZ: [Laughs] Why?
GLASER: Because to start with, I’m speaking to you, and it’s wild that it’s occurring. It appears like a Make-A-Wish. Secondly, I’m not an interviewer and I simply realized that as I used to be prepping, I’m placing all this stress on myself to get this precisely proper, and I’m like, “Wait a second, just ease up, because this is the first time you’re doing it.” But really, I simply got here from {couples} remedy, so that is a welcome respite from the strain that was in that. Now I’m like, “Oh, I just get to talk to my friend J.Lo.”
LOPEZ: That’s the factor. Let’s not consider it as an interview, however as a dialog between two wonderful girls.
GLASER: I'll take that. You regarded wonderful in photos of you this weekend on the Toronto [International] Film Festival. Did you're feeling as wonderful as you regarded?
LOPEZ: [Laughs] I felt actually good. The film’s actually stunning. You do these items and then you definitely neglect, as a result of they’re within the can for thus lengthy, and also you’ve moved on to different tasks, and I’ve been taking break day, so I’ve not been in that mindset. I did the film as a result of it was such an inspirational story, and it was a Latino story. It’s about Anthony Robles, a wrestler who was born with one leg, and the way he defied the percentages in his sport. I play his mom, who had him when she was 16.
GLASER: And you bought to see it with audiences?
LOPEZ: I obtained to see all of it performed for the primary time with the viewers in Toronto, and other people liked it and actually responded to the emotion of the film. It’s a type of nice inspirational tales that I feel the world wants proper now.
GLASER: Absolutely.
LOPEZ: It’s about perseverance and energy and overcoming adversity. Yes, I felt nice. And being there with Judy Robles, who I play, was past. I can’t watch for folks to see it.

GLASER: You mentioned that one thing about it felt much like while you portrayed Selena, and that actually stood out to me. What is that feeling you had?
LOPEZ: There’s simply one thing totally different about enjoying actual folks. Sometimes you play characters, and it’s all fictional and you may actually emulate the kind of individual you suppose it's. But assembly Judy and chatting with her about her struggles of getting a baby so younger, after which him being born with out a leg and what that meant, and the way she carried with her that it was her fault, after which her feeling of not being ok, after which her son inspiring her—while you see the film and also you see what occurs on the finish, it’s fucking mind-blowing what the human spirit can overcome.
GLASER: What’s the method for you placing collectively that portrayal? Do you name her? Do you go go to face-to-face? Do you examine how she talks? Was it about getting her character proper or simply representing her in tone?
LOPEZ: It’s each, since you don’t wish to do an imitation, however you wish to seize the essence and have sufficient of the mannerisms and voice and tone that you just disappear. Jennifer goes away and all of a sudden, it’s a totally different individual. So sure, I talked to her first on Zoom for hours, about our lives, about {our relationships}, about our youngsters—and a lot of the stuff she gave me wound up within the film, even issues that weren’t written. Little by little, you see the arc of this lady rising her vanity via the truth that her son simply gained’t surrender, and if he can try this, then she will be able to do it, too. And then I met her in individual and was like, “I want to sit with you and Anthony and see how that is.” And so, we sat down, after which they have been on set, even till the final day.
GLASER: I can’t assist however see the mirror of your quest for vanity, the one that you just discovered for her. You have been very open about the way you’ve additionally struggled with your personal. I don’t suppose folks would ever suppose Jennifer Lopez may battle with low vanity. I battle with it and persons are at all times shocked, primarily based on what I do. What’s been your journey with your vanity? Can we return to the start?
LOPEZ: My entire life has been proving my enoughness. Dealing with feeling such as you’re sufficient, from while you’re very younger, is one thing that you just don’t work out for a very long time, since you’re not taking a look at your self like that. Something is driving you and your selections and also you don’t know why. You begin going, “Wait a minute, what the fuck is going on here?”
GLASER: What do you suppose obtained in your head early on that you just weren’t sufficient?
LOPEZ: It was simply being ignored, being a center baby, having a very outgoing mother and a dad who labored all day and labored all night time and feeling such as you weren’t essential, such as you weren’t a precedence. That embeds in you, and I feel your dad and mom are doing the very best they'll. Even now being a mother or father, I've far more empathy for what they’ve been via. I really like my dad and mom, however I do see the impact of who they have been and the way they have been raised, on me. You don’t even actually know till these issues begin manifesting in your precise grownup relationships. “Oh, I’m comfortable with this person ignoring me. I’m comfortable with this person treating me this way or that way.” That, for me, has been a journey. I feel my entire life I’ve simply been making an attempt to say I’m ok, till the place I'm now, after I know. I’m giving myself credit score. I’m telling that little lady that grew up within the Bronx, “You’ve done really good for yourself.” I didn’t try this for thus a few years. And now I feel, with all the pieces that’s occurred in my life and in my relationships and even in my profession, it’s like, give your self a little bit of consolation and love. We’ve been via a lot of issues that no person is aware of about, and also you’ve persevered and also you refuse to surrender and to let it get you down. There’s one thing to be mentioned for that as a result of issues can actually change your life in a approach that you just do wish to surrender and say, “Fuck this, this is too hard, I don’t want to do this anymore.” But I’m not there. I refuse to not give myself all the pieces that little lady deserves.

GLASER: When did this little lady get the time of day for you? Is this current or has she been knocking on the door for a whereas? Is she lastly in? Are you speaking to her every single day?
LOPEZ: Now I'm. And once more, it’s not till you undergo extremely laborious moments and big disappointments that you just by no means may have imagined, that these items begin turning into crystal clear. But the journey for me began in all probability after I had my children, and that was 16 years in the past. You begin slowly chipping away at various things—“This is not right and this is not right”—and studying learn how to be by yourself, and also you begin placing the items collectively and then you definitely suppose, “Oh, I did it! I’ve got it!”
GLASER: I’ve arrived. I’m fastened.
LOPEZ: With This Is Me … Now and the challenge that you just talked about earlier, I felt like, whoa, I obtained right here. I’m good. I did all of the work and have a look at the place I'm, after which it was like my entire fucking world exploded.
GLASER: That was such a second, as a result of I felt it for you too in The Greatest Love Story Never Told. That documentary was so susceptible and I actually fell in love with you in a approach that I didn’t see coming. I virtually watched it to be like, “What is this girl about?” This jealous model of myself that’s at all times had you on this pedestal, like your life is ideal. “She doesn’t have any problems, and if she does, fine. The rest of her life is perfect.” The ugliest a part of me was a J.Lo critic, and at my lowest lows, that’s the place my thoughts would go, not only for you however for anybody I had jealousy over. Then I watched this documentary—alongside with Halftime, by the best way—and I walked away so impressed with what you have been prepared to indicate. So it’s attention-grabbing to me, to see that you just’re nonetheless arriving at new ranges. You’re nonetheless chipping away.
LOPEZ: It’s a lifelong course of. I feel that’s what I really like about life, that there’s no arrival level. There’s solely getting higher and rising if you wish to. It’s both rising or dying, and I don’t wish to do the dying half. And yeah, there’s occasions after I thought I figured it out, after which life goes, “Let’s send you another thing and see if you fall for it. Let’s see if you really have learned that lesson.” And I hadn’t. I perceive that now in a a lot deeper approach, which doesn’t imply that I gained’t make errors sooner or later, however once more, when your entire home blows up, you’re standing there within the rubble going, “How do I not ever let that happen again?” And then you definitely begin analyzing it little by little saying, “Okay, I did this, this was my part in it, this was what I should have seen early on, this is what I didn’t look at.” Those issues are what actually are the teachings.
GLASER: It sounds to me such as you’re taking a look at that explosion, your own home burning down, and also you’re previous the purpose of any disgrace round it. How do you look at what you probably did improper with out falling into a “what’s wrong with you”? I’m actually simply asking for myself.
LOPEZ: [Laughs] The work is figuring your self out. It’s trying again on the emotions beneath and the assumption programs that now we have about ourselves that make us make sure selections and create sure patterns in our life. And so, while you get to a level the place you suppose that you just’ve realized the teachings, after which it blows up in your face once more, you understand, “Okay, I haven’t, so what is it that I need to look at right now?” I'd say, by no means cease trying inward, as a result of it’s really easy responsible all people else.
GLASER: Exactly.
LOPEZ: But you need to be wholesome. You should be full, in order for you one thing that’s extra full. You should be good by yourself. I believed I realized that, however I didn’t. And then, this summer season, I needed to be like, “I need to go off and be on my own. I want to prove to myself that I can do that.”
GLASER: Was it laborious?
LOPEZ: Yes, it’s fucking laborious!
GLASER: What does it appear like when it’s laborious?
LOPEZ: It feels lonely, unfamiliar, scary. It feels unhappy. It feels determined. But while you sit in these emotions and go, “These things are not going to kill me,” it’s like really, I'm able to pleasure and happiness all on my own. Being in a relationship doesn’t outline me. I can’t be in search of happiness in different folks. I've to have happiness inside myself. I used to say I’m a blissful individual, however was nonetheless in search of one thing for anyone else to fill, and it’s identical to, “No, I’m actually good.”

GLASER: I feel everyone knows you need to love your self earlier than you may let another person love you. We know that, however will we follow it? Do you're feeling now you’re practising it?
LOPEZ: That, to me, is a scary factor too, or a complicated factor, as a result of it’s like, “Oh, you couldn’t love me if I have flaws. I have to be perfect to be loved.” That’s not true! Somebody who really loves you'll provide help to heal these components of your self. That’s what I’ve realized about love, that it's a safe factor. You make me really feel protected, and after I fall in need of the glory, you perceive me and also you assist me to develop to be higher, as a result of you may have your boundaries and I've my boundaries. And I am going, “Here’s where you’re falling short for me and here’s where I’m falling short for you.” And so, we get higher at these issues collectively.
GLASER: Now, it sounds to me like you may have a new bar for the following individual that comes alongside.
LOPEZ: Here’s the factor: There’s no new bar as a result of I’m not in search of anyone. How’s that?
GLASER: Interesting! Is this the primary time you’ve been capable of say that as a single lady?
LOPEZ: Yes!
GLASER: Oh my god! What does that appear like for you?
LOPEZ: You know what? For people who find themselves romantics and love being in relationships and wish to develop outdated with anyone, we expect, “I have to have that to be whole and happy.” And you don’t.
GLASER: Wow. It’s actually spectacular how rapidly you’ve gotten so far the place you appear to be in a actually safe place, prepared for the following factor that comes that you just’re not even in search of.
LOPEZ: It solely took 30 years. [Laughs]
GLASER: But after the summer season you’ve had, or the summer season that I assume you’ve had, primarily based on the Instagram posts I've learn and the distillation of what folks have fabricated from your life, simply within the media, it’s actually spectacular to me with what I assume you’ve been via. How a lot do you concentrate to what's being mentioned about you on-line?
LOPEZ: I’ve been doing this a very very long time, I hate to confess. I wish to suppose that I’m nonetheless 16, however I’m not.
GLASER: You look it.
LOPEZ: [Laughs] I do know that all the pieces that’s being written and mentioned about me, and all of the conjecture of who I'm as a individual, will not be who I'm. I realized that a very long time in the past. And social media, as a result of it got here alongside after I had been within the public eye for a whereas, I don’t take it as severely as all people else. I do know I’m a good individual. I do know I’m a good mother. I do know who my mates are. I do know my mates know who I'm, my mother, my dad, all that stuff. If you hope to have a lengthy profession, you need to learn to deal with that a part of the enterprise. Some persons are going to like you and a few will not be going to know you, and a few folks simply wish to hate you to hate you, and none of that actually issues. What issues for me, as an artist, is doing work that conjures up me and that I get pleasure from doing, whether or not it’s a big industrial success or one thing that solely touches one individual that no person ever fucking even sees. It doesn’t matter. This is my life’s ardour. I like to sing. I really like to bop. I like to act. I like to entertain. I like to create. And something anyone may say about me—and please don’t get me improper, if I see one thing that’s hurtful, I’m not Teflon.
GLASER: Right.
LOPEZ: As an entertainer, typically you’ll be onstage in an enviornment of fifty,000 folks, and all people’s leaping up and down, singing and laughing, after which there’ll be one or two folks with resting bitch face.
GLASER: Stone-faced.
LOPEZ: Like they hate you. And you’re zeroed in on these two folks.
GLASER: It’s all you may take into consideration.
LOPEZ: Every time I’d go backstage to alter, I’d come again out and test and I’d say, “Did I get them yet?” Ignoring the opposite 49,998 folks which can be there. It’s human nature, however if you happen to’re going to outlive on this enterprise, you’re going to have to know that that’s a very small faction of individuals which can be in all probability sad in a roundabout way.
GLASER: Absolutely.
LOPEZ: Somebody who's going to take the time to make a video simply to leap on that factor—how can I take note of that when I've these stunning children and all this wonderful stuff occurring in my life? I can’t. Even in laborious occasions, I simply go, “You know the truth.” Head excessive. Like they mentioned in Finding Nemo: Keep on swimming.
GLASER: When I am going onstage, I actually blur my eyes due to that very same purpose. I make it so I can’t see anybody, and typically I miss out on the people who find themselves smiling as a result of I don’t wish to see the dangerous. What was your course of in attending to a place the place you have been actually strong on, “I know what I’m doing in my career, I don’t need to look for external validation.” Why didn’t that take 30 years?
LOPEZ: When I first began within the enterprise, I got here out and labored with Francis Ford Coppola, with Steven Soderbergh, and my report goes straight to primary. All of these items was occurring after which, all of a sudden, they began criticizing me and also you’re like, “Wait, what? That’s not true. That’s not who I am.” And so, immediately—and it’s this factor of being younger— you’re resilient and optimistic. Things haven’t actually fairly knocked you all the best way in your ass but. I used to be like, “I know who I am when I lay my head down at night and that’s what matters.” And that caught with me, and that’s at all times, once more, that little lady within you who so deserves credit score and luxury and pleasure. Life beats you down as you go, after which you need to at all times return and connect with that harmless, optimistic, bright-eyed individual that you just have been while you began out. That is one thing I at all times had, and I used to be capable of survive these powerful moments of a lengthy profession the place issues go up and down, the place all people loves you after which all people’s leaping on you, after which all people loves you. That occurs if in case you have a lengthy profession.
GLASER: It’s cyclical and to be anticipated. The highs have to return with the lows, sadly. Going again to what drives you to make issues and the tasks that you just select, it at all times comes from a place of eager to say one thing and eager to have an effect on folks emotionally. I feel a lot of artists speak like that. I actually consider you while you say it, since you are pushed in so many various instructions by what excites you— what you wish to talk—and you are taking wild probabilities. I actually have to present you credit score for doing issues that possibly persons are like, “She shouldn’t be doing that,” and also you simply do it anyway. I learn your e-book, so I heard the inside workings of the way you determined to do American Idol. I'd’ve thought, “Of course she’s going to do American Idol. It’s J.Lo. We all love her. We can’t wait to see this side of her.” But that was a danger for you. You had by no means actually proven the facet of your self that wasn’t scripted or utterly rehearsed. You have been up all night time the night time earlier than it occurred, and I liked studying that, how nervous you have been, since you at all times appear so poised and in management. Do you wish to put your self in conditions which can be dangerous? Does that drive you?
LOPEZ: I don’t do issues simply because I like hazard. That’s a totally different sort of individual, I feel.
GLASER: Agreed.
LOPEZ: I’ll do issues that might be dangerous as a result of I consider that they’re going to end up okay. I’d performed all these massive films and made these albums and now they’re asking me to do actuality TV. I’ve had children and I haven’t labored for a couple of years. American Idol was a massive present on the time. It actually comes all the way down to, what do I feel I can convey to one thing? When all of my advisors have been like, “Don’t do this, you’re going to be reduced to just a reality star.”
GLASER: There’s a stigma.
LOPEZ: It was regarded down upon. “Don’t do that or nobody will ever hire you for a movie ever again.” And I used to be identical to, “No. I don’t think that’s what’s going to happen. I think I have something to contribute.” I really like music and I really like mentoring folks, and I wished to share the issues that I knew in regards to the enterprise. So it grew to become extra about, “What do I think I can do with this?” When I’m selecting issues, even when they appear like not the very best concept to all people else, if I really feel it in my intestine that it’s the correct factor to do, no person can speak me out of it. It’s the identical factor after I went to Vegas. They have been like, “That’s where entertainers go to die.” And I used to be like, “No.” And it launched me into a entire new a part of my life.
GLASER: You’re simply doing belongings you wish to do it doesn't matter what it might appear like commercially.

LOPEZ: I do know what I may do. I do know the kind of present that I’m going to make in Vegas, and I do know that we’re going to ask all these folks and all people’s going to return, individuals who would have by no means purchased a ticket to considered one of my excursions. And all of that, little by little, begins constructing a new momentum. If they give you the most important factor on the earth and also you’re like, “I don’t think I have anything to offer to this,” then you need to go, “This is not for me. I can’t do it.”
GLASER: Have you mentioned no to issues that everybody’s saying, “Do this?”
LOPEZ: There’s been films like that. Sometimes they’ll give you tons of cash to do a industrial or a personal present, and also you’re identical to, “No.” They’re like, “Please do it! We all want the commission!” And I’m like, “I can’t do that.”
GLASER: I’m so honored to narrate to you on this approach.
LOPEZ: [Laughs]
GLASER: I feel I’m simply studying to faucet into that. If I can shut my eyes and film myself having a nice second doing that factor that may simply terrify me, that may make me look silly, however I’m visualizing the success of it, then it’s going to occur. The profession you’ve had is simply—you’re one of the well-known individuals who will ever dwell, with out query.
LOPEZ: [Laughs]
GLASER: And you’ve performed a lot greater than most well-known folks. You have your hand in each artwork kind and also you kill it in any respect of them. I really feel such as you noticed this. Maybe not precisely the way it all panned out, however do you know while you began out that you just have been able to this? I’m not saying you’re a cocky individual, however I really feel such as you at all times knew.
LOPEZ: You’re not loopy to say that, however there’s a model of it. I knew I wished to be an entertainer. I didn’t know the way I used to be going to do this, however I knew that I wished to. I went to highschool and I simply did the common issues at any common faculty, no performing arts faculty. Normal, regular, regular. Started working in a financial institution, in a legislation workplace, after which in all probability round 18, I used to be like, “I’m not going to college, mom. I’m going to be an entertainer.” They’re like, “You’re crazy. We don’t know anybody in the business.” But I adopted my intestine and simply began taking dance lessons for 12 hours a day. And I obtained actually good, actually fast.
GLASER: That’s the factor. People go, “How do you get good?” Just do it as a lot as doable.
LOPEZ: Practice, follow, follow. I knew I may do a lot of various issues, and I by no means closed myself off to what all people thought was the traditional strategy to do issues. If you have been an actress, you didn’t sing. If you have been a severe actress, you didn’t do L’Oréal adverts. I used to be like, “No, I can do L’Oréal ads.” Now, all people needs that contract. I felt like I may do all of the issues. I wish to sing and do severe films and make data and make fragrance, too. I labored in a fragrance retailer after I grew up, so I knew each single fragrance. And all people was like, “Don’t do that. You’re a singer and an actress now.”
GLASER: We advised you you couldn’t be a pop star and an actor, however now that you've each of these, don’t do that different factor. You’re like, “I’ll do that too.”
LOPEZ: If it excites you, do it.
GLASER: Dude, I’m laughing. You know the Hawk Tuah lady? I simply obtained requested to do her podcast, and I used to be like, “I want to talk to this girl. She’s hilarious.” My publicist wrote me, “We’re not doing this, are we?” And I am going, “No, it excites me.” I'll make time to speak to the Hawk Tuah lady as a result of, commercially, it won't appear like the correct factor, however inside, I wish to speak to this younger lady who’s humorous. Putting all the pieces via that filter, it makes me have a good time doing what I’m doing. I don’t wish to get away from the factor that introduced me into this enterprise within the first place, which is my ardour for it. And then you definitely get in and also you’re supposed to decide on issues that look cool that won't excite you. It feels good to listen to you say that as a result of I’m simply going to maintain following my intestine.
LOPEZ: Exactly. And typically, Nikki, it’s going to work out nice. And typically it gained’t. And that’s fucking okay, too. I used to be serious about this time in my life, and I’m like, “That’s not what I thought it was going to turn out like.” And then I believed, “No, this is exactly where I needed to be, to lead me to where I want to go.”
GLASER: The ache you simply went via, you don't remorse.
LOPEZ: Not one second. That doesn’t imply it didn’t virtually take me out for good. It virtually did. But now, on the opposite facet of it, I feel to myself, “Fuck, that is exactly what I needed. Thank you, god. I’m sorry it took me so long. I’m sorry that you had to do this to me so many times. I should have learned it two or three times ago. I get it. You had to hit me really hard over the head with a fucking sledgehammer. You dropped the house on me. Don’t have to do it again.”
GLASER: You lastly obtained it.
LOPEZ: I lastly obtained it! And by the best way, that doesn’t imply I've all the pieces found out. Now I’m excited, while you say you’re simply going to be by yourself. Yes, I’m not in search of anyone, as a result of all the pieces that I’ve performed over the previous 25, 30 years, being in these totally different difficult conditions, what can I fucking do when it’s simply me flying alone—
GLASER: Oh my god.
LOPEZ: What if I’m simply free?

GLASER: You’ve been operating with a weighted vest and a parachute behind you and been capable of get to date. What are you going to do with out that stuff ? How far are you going to go? Does it scare you?
LOPEZ: A little bit bit, however it’s new territory, in order that’s at all times a little scary, proper? And I do know that the outdated Jennifer remains to be going to attempt to be like, “Wait, don’t we want to do that?” And it’s like, no, dumb bitch. No.
GLASER: [Laughs] Be nicer to her than that.
LOPEZ: I will likely be, however she is aware of how I speak.
GLASER: It’s a loving bitch.
LOPEZ: Let’s take dumb bitch out. It’s no, motherfucker, no.
GLASER: No, I adore it. I name myself bitch too, however it’s loving.
LOPEZ: I do know. And that’s a very powerful factor, proper? The relationship with your self, for me, is the connection with myself being cultivated on this second and my relationship with god, that I feel we are inclined to get away from at occasions, while you’re wrapped up with different folks. And god has at all times been such a massive a part of my life.
GLASER: Man, I’m having a god second proper now as a result of for me, it's simply a greater energy. I don’t know what the hell it's. Just one thing I speak to, and I not often speak to him anymore. But proper earlier than this name—and I by no means speak out loud, it’s normally in my head—I mentioned out loud, “Hey god, let me have a great time with Jennifer Lopez and just be the best version of myself I can be.” And I obtained to say, he got here via.
LOPEZ: You are wonderful.
GLASER: I’m leaving this a higher individual. You gave me recommendation that I'll carry all through my entire profession. Truly.
LOPEZ: Don’t make me cry. I'll say, you’re going to be round for thus lengthy. The approach you annihilated all people at that Tom Brady roast, I'll always remember. I used to be so proud to be a lady.
GLASER: Oh my god.
LOPEZ: Abso-fucking-lutely. And that is no bullshit. I don’t should say these items, however I wish to. I would like you to know the way particular you might be. The enterprise we’re in, particularly as girls, might be powerful. And you, particularly, are surrounded by male comedians on a regular basis. I’m positive that’s what your life is like.
GLASER: It’s precisely that.
LOPEZ: Just bear in mind, you’re higher than all of them. I'll at all times be right here for you, I imply that.
GLASER: I do know you imply that. And I wish to be sure that people who find themselves studying this know that I do know you imply that. You are going to be somebody I’m going to know for a whereas.
LOPEZ: For a very very long time. Let me simply let you know, I wish to go to considered one of your reveals. And I would like you to return to mine after I get again on the market.
GLASER: I'd die. I used to be so unhappy about your tour. I used to be able to go to a number of cities, so I will likely be there when it’s again on.
