It's not a diet, it's a way of life that teaches you better skills. For years, I felt like I could never have ice cream, but now I can eat ice cream occasionally!

I'm prouder of my weight loss than my Oscar! I hope it has inspired people.

I don't want to work with anyone who has not sat down with me and has gotten to know me. I don't want you writing for who you think Jennifer is or the public persona of because that's not who I am. It's my shell, it's the brand, it's the celebrity, but it's not the person.

Long before "American Idol" people used to call me a diva. And I be like, "Hold on, are you calling me something else on the sly? You gonna call me a diva, call me a good diva."

When you hear my music and you feel the emotion, it's real. When you see me in a film and you see a tear, it's real.

I feel like I've lived about three or four different lives.

Love is as hard to hide as hate.
