Redefining Hollywood's Definition of Beautiful
RD: Selena was your break. It made you a star. Did you identify with her?JL: Very much. Edward James Olmos, who played Selena's father, told me, "You'll never have another part like this again, where you're perfectly suited, in the right time in your life, where you understand." When things come into your life at a certain moment, it's for a reason. I had a lot to learn from it.
RD: What did you learn?
JL: To not wait till tomorrow. You just don't know what's going to happen. Selena was 23 when she was killed, and had the maturity and grace of a woman who knew she had to get more done in a shorter amount of time.
RD: You've been called one of the sexiest women in the world. What makes a woman sexy?
JL: Being comfortable with who you are. People think, Sexy, big breasts, curvy body, no cellulite. It's not that. Take the girl at the beach with the cellulite legs, wearing her bathing suit the way she likes it, walking with a certain air, comfortable with herself. That woman is sexy. Then you see the perfect girl who's really thin, tugging at her bathing suit, wondering how her hair looks. That's not sexy.
RD: Though men love the way you're built, women can sometimes be catty because you're not stick-thin, you have a voluptuous derriére. Do you think you've helped change Hollywood's definition of what's beautiful?
JL: I hope so. It's important for all types of women to know that you don't have to fit a prototype of what one person thinks is beautiful in order to be beautiful or feel beautiful.
