Jennifer Lopez doesn’t consider herself a risk-taker, but someone who is confident in her decisions.

In her interview with Nikki Glaser in Interview magazine, Lopez revealed that she was warned by her team that being a judge on "American Idol" would kill her movie career.

"I’d done all these big movies and made these albums and now they’re asking me to do reality TV," Lopez said. "I’ve had kids and I haven’t worked for a couple of years. ‘American Idol’ was a big show at the time."
