Singer Jennifer Lopez opened up about trying to find balance as a performer.

During the premiere for her new movie ā€œShotgun Wedding,ā€ available on Jan. 27, Lopez spoke with People about the juggling act in her personal and professional life.

She shared she tries to put her ā€œbest foot forwardā€ as much as she can.

ā€œI’m not one to share my angst. I don’t feel like that’s my life as a performer. You always show the best of you. But I’m a human being like everybody else, and I suffer in silence at times,ā€ she said.

She also mentioned wanting to be authentic with her audience.

ā€œI have an album coming out and I’ve been thinking a lot about that — like, what parts of myself do I share with my audience? And what it means to be an artist and to be authentic. And I feel like there are some things that need to be said and shared because I think, like you just said, it’s like, ā€˜Oh, you have it all together,ā€™ā€ she said.

She added that she is ā€œjust like anybody else.ā€

ā€œI struggle at times, and I wonder at times and I doubt at times, and I’m insecure,ā€ she said.

Lopez also revealed to People that she has ā€œlots to come this yearā€ with future projects.

ā€œLet’s just put it that way. A lot of sharing and artistic things that I think are going to be revelatory for people,ā€ she said.

She added, ā€œAnd I’m happy to do that. I’m happy to share that.ā€

ā€œShotgun Weddingā€ is a romantic comedy produced by Lopez and actor Ryan Reynolds.

ā€A couple’s extravagant destination wedding is hijacked by criminals. In the process of saving their families, they rediscover why they fell in love in the first place,ā€ according to the movie’s description.
