The multi-talented artist recently sat down with Harper’s Bazaar magazine. During the interview, she spoke candidly about her life in the limelight as well as speaking on her own #metoo experience in Hollywood.
About Sexual Harassment in Hollywood:
āI havenāt been abused in the way some women have. But have I been told by a director to take off my shirt and show my boobs? Yes, I have. But did I do it? No, I did not.” […] āWhen I did speak up, I was terrified. I remember my heart beating out of my chest, thinking, āWhat did I do? This man is hiring me!ā It was one of my first movies. But in my mind I knew the behavior wasnāt right. It could have gone either way for me. But I think ultimately the Bronx in me was like, āNah, weāre not having it.ā ā
On her list of strengths:
“Great performer, great actress, great producer. […]Most importantly, a great mother, great sister, and a great girlfriend. Iāve also been a great wife.ā
On her work ethic:
āIām a workaholic,ā Lopez says bluntly. āMy instinct is to fill every single minute of my life with work, so Iāve had to learn balance. When you take on too much, that can be the enemy of great.ā
