Jennifer Lopez Covers Glamour's September Issue in Leopard Print
Posted on August 7, 2010
Jennifer Lopez looks fierce in a Dolce & Gabbana bodysuit on the cover of the September, 2010 issue of Glamour. In the interview, Jlo talks about having faith in yourself, love, public life and Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation to the Supreme Court.
On Having Faith in Yourself: "If you feel in your mind you can do it, you can do it. You cannot doubt yourself. Doubt is a killer. You just have to know who you are and what you stand for. You can have a great mentor, a great partner, a great love in your life who gives you confidence and makes you feel great about yourself. And that's all wonderful, but at the end of the day, if you don't believe it, all of that means nothing."
On Love: "For me, love is the never-ending question. It's confusing. It's the answer, but it's also inundated with contradictions and complications. It's about years of experience in different relationships, and kind of the culmination of that, and how even to this day, I'm still learning."
On Her Life Being So Public: "I don't regret what I've been through. I've had ups and downs, super highs and some really low lows. I've been so blessed that I could never say, 'I wish this didn't happen.' It's part of who I am. There's nothing in my life that's so ugh. Yes, there are some things that I'm like, Eww, but not where I'm worried about [Max and Emme] finding out. I'll tell them myself. No secrets from them."
On Sonia Sotomayor's Confirmation: "It was so inspirational what she accomplished. My mom and sister were in Atlantic City with us on the [day she was confirmed]. Marc was still in bed, and he goes, 'It's happening. She's on the TV. She's getting sworn in.' And she was standing there with her mom. I will never forget this moment: We all stopped and looked, and we all started crying. You just felt it. It was such a huge accomplishment to be the first Latina, to be from the Bronx, to be everything that she is. So we thought we had to do something nice and invited her over. And I told her, 'Just know that you make me want to be better. You make people realize that with hard work, living a good life, you can do anything. You will be rewarded for that.'"
