    Jennifer Lopez has learned to see interviews as just "part of the job"

    The 55-year-old pop superstar has been a major name in entertainment for almost 30 years but doesn't find press time to be the "best part" of her career and so these days she has cut down the amount she has to offer


    She told Radio Times magazine's 'View From My Sofa' featurette: "When I first started, I used to do eight- and nine-hour junket days. Now I say, 'I can give you two or three hours. We can get it done in that time.'

    "Over the years, you learn and you see what's most effective. But they still like to run you into the ground a little bit.

    "I prepare by thinking about what I want to say and what I want to share. I want to let people know when I'm proud of something I've done, and I want to make sure people come out and see it, so I try to make it as fun and joyful as possible. There are long days, and there's a lot of saying the same things over and over again - but it's all part of the job. Maybe it's not the best part of the job, but it's part of the job!"

    Meanwhile, the 'Unstoppable' actress revealed that her first memory of television was watching a broadcast of the classic musical film 'West Side Story' at Thanksgiving in the years before everything was accessible via streaming.

    She said: "My first memory of sitting in front of a TV was probably watching 'West Side Story' with my mother at Thanksgiving. This was before we had access to watch whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted. But every Thanksgiving, they would play 'West Side Story' on TV, and my mother made us watch it!"
