Promoting her new book on USA Today, Jennifer Lopez talked about Madonna being an inspiration to her. I get so inspired by other women. I remember being a little girl and watching Madonna jogging in Central Park, thinking āwow, sheās rich, famous and successful, an amazing performerā¦ and sheās out there working. She doesnāt need to be out there running. But thatās what you have to do. You have to work hard.ā Just that little thingā¦ just seeing that one picture inspired me. I would have liked this message when I was in my twenties or in my teens. Just that planted seed could have made me start thinking differently about myself, about my life.
