But looking back, the star realized that this frustration didn't make much sense.

A beautiful lesson

“I was like, 'Okay, when you're supposed to be on everyone's mind and supposed to be named and you're not, what does that mean?

I'm not doing this to have 10 Oscars on my mantel or 20 Grammys, ”Jennifer Lopez recalls to herself.
