I Ignore Negativity Because I Know I’m A Good Person – Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez

Hollywood actress Jennifer Lopez has shared how her approach to fame and attention has changed over the course of her career. She recently had her say while speaking alongside Emily Blunt and Sydney Sweeney for the Los Angeles Times’ The Envelope 2025 Oscar Actresses Roundtable.

According to her, knowing that she is a good person is all the conviction she needs to not pay attention to the negativity that gets thrown her way.

Lopez added that blocking out external noise is key because the name-calling cannot be allowed to affect her mental health.

Her words, “From the very beginning, for whatever reason, I’ve been a lightning rod for nice things and a lot of negativity. And it’s hard because you say to yourself, ‘These people don’t get me. They don’t see me. They don’t understand me.’ Then all of a sudden they do. And then they don’t again.

Even from when I was very young. I would always say, ‘I know who I am. I’m a good person. I know what I’m doing. People wouldn’t hire me if I wasn’t good at what I do.’ I was always affirming myself and keeping my feet on the ground.

And what Sydney was saying, I’d have to block out the noise so I can put my head on the pillow at night and go, ‘I did good today. I was a good person. I was kind to people. I worked really hard. I’m a good mom,’ That has always helped me through.”

WOW.

The cinema of the United States, consisting mainly of major film studios (also known metonymously as Hollywood) along with some independent films, has had a large effect on the global film industry since the early 20th century.

The dominant style of American cinema is classical Hollywood cinema, which developed from 1910 to 1962 and is still typical of most films made there to this day.

Hollywood is considered to be the oldest film industry, in the sense of being the place where the earliest film studios and production companies emerged. It is the birthplace of various genres of cinema —among them comedy, drama, action, the musical, romance, horror, science fiction, and the epic—and has set the example for other national film industries.

Many of Hollywood’s highest-grossing movies have generated more box-office revenue and ticket sales outside the United States than films made elsewhere. The United States is a leading pioneer in motion picture engineering and technology.
