[on comparisons to J-Lo] It doesnât annoy me, no, because I respect J-Lo. I like her, I think sheâs great. And I know that Iâm over a decade younger than her, itâs so flattering that Iâm so young and people are comparing me to someone who has accomplished so much. But I donât think Iâm like anyone else and really, Iâd rather not be compared to anyone else. (2003)
[What Hispanic figures have you grown up admiring?] Well, definitely Jennifer Lopez. I completely admire her story of growing up in the Bronx and the success that sheâs had and the empire sheâs created. Sheâs a very intelligent woman. I got a chance to work with her on the Pepsi commercial. Sheâs unbelievably beautiful and talented. - âBeyoncĂ©âs Latin Soulâ - People En Español Magazine Interview 2007
