LAâs The Place, courtesy of Glamour, brings you highlights of J.Loâs interview:
About the possibility of a new relationship out of the public eye:
âI think to give something a chance, to really get to know somebody, you want to do it out of the public eye. You know the mediaâthey want to rush everything.â
About her fashion and style:
âThe things I liked when I was, like, 16 and in the Bronxâjeans, cut-up T-shirtsâI still like. But Iâve been exposed to so much now from traveling the world and seeing couture clothes. I used all of that when I created my new line for Kohlâs. My style has come from everything, from where I started to where I am today.â
About her lessons learned about love and relationships
âI think Iâve finally learned the biggest lesson of all. Youâve got to love yourself first. Youâve got to be OK on your own before you can be OK with somebody else. Youâve got to value yourself and know that youâre worth everything. And until you value yourself enough and love yourself enough to know that, you canât really have a healthy relationship.â
