- "So it’s all these amazing core memories of my life
that when you look back on them, I don’t know that I get emotional, but I
definitely get like, ‘Wow’. Happy. I’ve been doing this and I’m proud of that”.
-
- As per ‘Female First UK’, Jennifer recently sat down to
watch some of her old performances, and the chart-topping star was struck by
how much she's developed as an artist. The 'Jenny from the Block' hitmaker is
also relishing the challenge of hosting the American Music Awards.
-
- She said, "We were just looking at it to see the
progression of the stuff that we’ve done. I don’t know, it’s just a very
important part of my musical career and life. It was created as an answer kind
of to the Grammys, which was voted by an academy, and this was really about the
fans. And I think that’s what makes it really special, is that the fans vote
for these awards and tell you, ‘This is music we love from the year’”.
-
- Jennifer previously insisted that she doesn't judge herself
by commercial success. The singer explained that she isn't worried at all by
her critics.
-
- Speaking to IndieWire, Jennifer explained, "There’s
going to be things that are huge commercial successes, and there’s going to be
things that are super critically acclaimed, and then there’s going to be things
that are mixed, and then there are going to be things that people don’t like.
But at the end of the day, none of that really matters as an artist”.
-
- “What matters is that you put out something truthful into
the world that you felt compelled to do, and it has that intention behind it.
And for that, to me, it’s already a success. And it’s only reinforced when
people come up to you and tell you that it’s changed their life in some way or
it affected their life in some way”, she added.
