Jennifer Lopez reveals how she maintains sanity over the years amid fame and media scrutiny.

The Kiss of the Spider Woman has joined other A-list stars including Gwyneth Paltrow, Emily Blunt, Tessa Thompson, Elle Fanning and Sydney Sweeney for the Los Angeles Times' The Envelope 2025 Oscar Actresses Roundtable on December 16.

During the conversation, the stars are questioned about how they deal with the “negative stuff” while focusing on their career.

To which, JLo replies that she has been “a lightning rod for nice things and a lot of negativities” from the very beginning.

Marry Me star points out that 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’”.

JLo notes that she always knows herself and what she’s doing since her early days.

“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,” shares the 56-year-old.

Meanwhile, Maid in Manhattan actress also gives credit to her parents for giving her so much self-confidence and a “strong sense of self” while growing up.

“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,” explains the mother of twins.

JLo adds,” That has always helped me through."
