"It's a really hard role," Lopez said at the time."One of the hardest things was the accent. There's just so many different things to the role, [including] the singing and dancing. She was such an incredible performer."
"I'm not a singer," she added at the time, explaining that the film used recordings of Selena's songs for the project."I haven't performed as a singer. I'm a dancer." Lopez continued discussing the role by gushing over Quintanilla's lasting legacy and impact on the Latino community. "Selena was such a great role model and she broke so many barriers. She did so much great stuff for the Latino community, and gave all these little girls somebody to look up to," she said."The movie in that sense, can help in the same way, breaking down barriers in Hollywood [because] we've had so many problems getting good roles. For me it's such a blessing. It's an honor to be able to do this.
