JLo drags everyone in 1998 interview
Quote:

When J.Lo was asked why she was thriving in 1998, she had no problem talking up her own talent. “Because I’m the best,” she said, laughing in delight at her own chutzpah.

When J.Lo initially auditioned for famed director Oliver Stone, he kind of curved her, offending her so much that she vowed to never work for him.
But when Stone called her up years later to discuss an opportunity to act in U-Turn, she felt she had more leverage. “I have the upper hand here because I don’t care about this movie. I’ve got Selena and I’m getting a million dollars for it,” she told Movieline about her thought process.

“I think George Clooney’s getting $10 million for this movie,” she said. “[Universal] thought they were going to get me cheap from the beginning, but I kept telling my agent, ‘No, no, no! Keep asking!’ When my agent called me saying, ‘What should we say to them?’ I said, ‘Say, who’s going to break their ass to promote this movie while George is on ER? Say, Anaconda is now over $100 million worldwide and why do you think girls between 18 and 25 went to see it more than any other action movies–because of Ice Cube?'”

J.Lo was not too impressed with Salma Hayek saying that she could have been in Selena. “We’re in two different realms,” she said. “She’s a sexy bombshell and those are the kinds of roles she does. I do all kinds of different things. It makes me laugh when she says she got offered Selena, which was an outright lie. If that’s what she does to get herself publicity, then that’s her thing. Columbia offered me the choice of Fools Rush In or Anaconda, but I chose the fun B-movie because the Fools script wasn’t strong enough.”

“[Cameron Diaz is] a lucky model who’s been given a lot of opportunities I just wish she would have done more with,” she said. “She’s beautiful and has a great presence, though, and in My Best Friend’s Wedding, I thought, ‘When directed, she can be good.'”

“Tell me what [Gwenyth Paltrow]'s been in? I swear to God, I don’t remember anything she was in,” J.Lo said. “Some people get hot by association. I heard more about her and Brad Pitt than I ever heard about her work.”

“Do I think [Madonna]'s a great performer? Yeah. Do I think she’s a great actress? No,” she said. “Acting is what I do, so I’m harder on people when they say, ‘Oh, I can do that–I can act.’ I’m like, ‘Hey, don’t spit on my craft.'”

“I was never a big fan of [Winona Ryder]. In Hollywood she’s revered, she gets nominated for Oscars, but I’ve never heard anyone in the public or among my friends say, ‘Oh, I love her.'”
