![“My philosophy on life is that we're here to love and to learn. And I've learned a lot, so I can't say "I wish this didn't happen or I didn't make that movie." And I take responsibility for being open [about relationships] in the past. I have to, and now I'm doing what I can to make it different.” quote by Jennifer Lopez](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/82c/jennifer-lopez-1227_different_my-philosophy-on-life-is-that-we-re-here_239366.jpg)
