Interview
E! Online: Your career is booming.
Is that what you expected?
Jennifer Lopez: I did...I had a
plan. This year, the most pleasant
surprise I had was how well people
received the music. You love the
music you do, and musicians love the
music, but you never know how it's
going to be received. With movies,
it's more of a collaborative thing.
It's a little bit more out of your
control. You say, I'm happy with my
work--or I'm not.
E! Online: You're also currently
filming Uptown Girl, costarring
Ralph Fiennes as a rich aristocrat
who falls in love with you. Tell us
a little about it.
Jennifer Lopez: It's a romantic
comedy. I play a maid who lives in
the Bronx, and she's a single
mother.
E! Online: And after Uptown Girl,
you've got Gigli, an action-romance
with Ben Affleck as a hit man
seeking the big score. Rumor has it
you actually get a little girl-on-
girl action. Is it true you play a
lesbian and there's a lesbian kiss?
Jennifer Lopez: [Laughs.] Well, in
the movie, I play a lesbian. But
no--there was no kissing.
E! Online: What's next on the music
front?
Jennifer Lopez: I've been doing a
lot of writing, and I'm looking
forward to getting back into the
studio. I've been talking to my
producer a lot, and we've been
relating--even though I've been
making movies--about what we want to
do and where we want to go, and
taking our time about really, really
finding a sound. The first two
albums, even though I'm very proud
of them, were quick projects for us.
We have a lot of ideas, but I can't
say when I'll put out another
single. It could be this summer, or
it could be next winter.
E! Online: Back to films...You play
a mom in Enough and another single
mom in Uptown Girl. Any of these
motherly characters rubbing off on
you? Are you ever going to find the
time become a mom?
Jennifer Lopez: I don't know. It's
something I want in my life,
obviously. I've said it a million
times. I come from a great, loving
family, and I'd like to have the
same thing. It will happen
naturally. I can't say, "Okay, I'm
going to have a baby next August."
E! Online: With your clothing line,
the music and the acting--you're
busier than Martha Stewart.
Jennifer Lopez: That's a big
statement. [Laughs.] I should be
getting more money.
E! Online: But do you ever have time
for yourself?
Jennifer Lopez: Not that much! I try
to concentrate on getting good rest,
because I do love what I do. I'm not
about going out all the time, going
out to dinner or clubs. It's just
not me. So, it's okay. I just like
to be around my loved ones, visit
and be close--and that's enough for
me.
