Diane: Good evening, I'm Diane Swayer and for our interview tonight you can't have a better time than to talk about love with
none other than Jennifer Lopez, speaking out for the first time since her new marriage and Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon, smart, opinionated and all
of them ready to get personal. A new york dance studio, 3 of Hollywood's hottest stars arrive. It's the first time they've all seen each
other since they've wrapped their new movie and they've come to talk about life, dance and love, starting with sex.
Diane: I have quotes from each of you
Jennifer: Let's keep it going because the next quote is going to be mine, and I just wanna know what it is -laughing and imitating Diane- Diane: Your quote was of the people who said you're into serial marriage you said "I'm just such a flutterbug, you know what I mean?" Jennifer: I never say the word flutterbug, so this is a misquote, so I just want to put that out there right now. I don't even know the word flutterbug. Diane: you said it to me! Jennifer: I didn't say flutterbug! The word flutterbug? I wanna see the tape!
Jennifer: I'm really really dissapointed with myself right now, I am! Diane Commentary: So, what is the former flutterbugs advice about romance? She's been in two famous relationships and three marraiges. Jennifer: You learn things as you go, about having something else, you know. I don't feel I need to elaborate. I can't educate anyone on anything, so why bother? Diane Commentary: But later she will bother, as we get personal. One question, how do you keep the passion of a marraige alive?
Diane Commentary: ..and then one evening he looks up from the train window at the wistful face of a girl in a rung down dance
studio, who awakens the old mystery, the old yearning. - talks to Richard about scene in the movie and clips are shown with Diane commentary-
Jennifer: It leads you to believe that, because there's an attractive girl in the window and here's a handsome man and they're gonna get together and this is gonna happen, this has to happen. But that's not what happens and what happens is in a way she winds up helping make his marriage better and he in turn helps her re-ignite the passion in her and her life goes on. -Susan tells story about an ex- Jennifer: you left him right? Susan: yeah Jennifer: okay good. Diane Commentary: But even Lopez, dancing in her video for "If You Had My Love" said she was worried about the unique difficulty of Ballroom Jennifer: it just has a very specific style you know, its very technical and uh it's a special technique. - Richard & Diane do some free style ballroom dancing- Diane Commentary: In the film there's a gaggle of hilariously goony students. Each one harboring the fantasy of holding someone close, to a heartbeat, a song. -Diane asks them about there most romantic dance and what song it would be, Susan & Richard answer- Jennifer: Mine would probably be to some spanish ballad, you know I always have this this thing where I want like to go to some small village in europe and you go into a little cafe and nobody knows you and you go in the middle of the floor and there's a band playing. Diane Commentary: Something with a latin beat, like here in the video for No Me Ames, where she's dancing with her old friend Marc Anthony. The man she married on June 5th. Diane: June 5th, is there a word for that day? Jennifer: -laughs- .... there are many words for that day, all good. This is you know Diane, this is the first time I'm talking about any of this so I'm a little nervous, I'm not going to lie Diane Commentary: As the whole world knows her marriage to Anthony was just months after that excruciating public breakup with Ben Affleck. Diane: so how are you different now then you were back in September a year ago? Jennifer: I'm happier now haha Diane: are you surprised you found something that made you happy? Jennifer: yeah, yeah and there's always a part of you that doesn't believe everything once you've been through a lot. - commercial break - Diane Commentary: So were back with Jennifer Lopez, Richard & Susan Sarandon. We've counted among them about 7 marriages, a number of relations and 8 children. not to mention a lot along the way 1000 lessons learned about love, romance and heartbreak. Diane: So at the end of the day what is the sacred bond that holds a marriage together? -talks with Susan about how to keep a marriage alive- Diane Commentary: ...and the girl in the window, she's moving towards an answer too. At the same time the real girl, Jennifer Lopez was braving all those headlines reporting Ben's bad antics and her decision to walk away. A girl with a story book idea of romance shaken when the story ended. Jennifer: What do I know about marriage? I think I've learned that it's both people have to really want to be there and they both have to make that choice and compromise and its how you treat each other when you're hurt, I think that's the most important thing cause its all great when everythings fun and great and lovely and everything but I think in the hard times is when a marriage becomes a marriage or it just falls apart. Its kind of like you shake and then everything gets clear and almost clearer then before and that's how I feel now, that things are clearer then before and that's how i feel now, like things are clearer then before and I can relax a little bit and slouch my shoulders and be myself a little more. - commentary and talking on Sarandon's breakdown years ago- - talking about Gere's previous relationships- Diane Commentary: And it may be that standing on your own begins with laughter, Jennifer Lopez on Will & Grace last week -scene from Will & Grace-
Diane Commentary: So has she analyzed this history of falling hard and marrying fast? She says maybe it was never really about the guys but about a girl trapped in scolding fame looking for a sanctuary. Jennifer: You know the idea of family, a family, cause I had a great family - have a great family. My mom, my dad I'm lucky I have a great family so I've always wanted one of my own, and maybe that was part of it. Diane: so serial marriage charges, its over? Jennifer: yeah I've realized that there are things that are more real, that are more real than that. -talking with Susan & Richard about stepchildren- Diane: Do you wanna say anything about children? Jennifer: I don't have any. I have uh - bonus children. Richard: How many? Jennifer: 3 Richard: yeah, how old? Jennifer: ten....three and.... one. Diane: but family... Jennifer: very important to me, I can say this about children - I cant wait to have my own I love that, yeah. Diane Commentary: So is it possible that Jennifer Lopez with Marc Anthony has finally found her friend, her husband, her family? Diane: Rosie O'Donnell has said of Marc "he has adored her since the moment he set eyes on her." Jennifer: -laughs - .... ay, i don't i don't. I think one of the things I learned this year and in the past couple of years is .. and the hard way and I'm still not that good at it by the way is to kinda keep more of the private things to myself. you know. I was always so I guess 'bronxy' in a way, gutsy and ballsy and i don't care what anybody thinks and I'm just gonna live my life and I'm not gonna become one of these people who's just become a recluse and in there house and not talk to anybody I'm not gonna be like that and I'm just gonna live my life, and now that I'm a little older and a little wiser and I've been thru a few things i realized this, and I've always known things are sacred but you know it in a different way it all kinda things breakdown so what I'd like to do is kinda keep the sacred things to myself even more than before. - talking about S&Gs relationships scenes from movie- Diane: Shall we dance waltzes into theaters this October 15th!
