You&#8217;re only as good as the people that you work with.  And if you&#8217;re lucky, they make you better.  And I have been very lucky in that regard, \u201dLopez said.  \u201cAs an actor, I&#8217;m not any of the women that I&#8217;ve played, but there&#8217;s a part of what is deeply true to me in each one of those characters.  And since you cannot create truth unless you really lived it, I have a different kind of list of thank yous tonight. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong><br \/>Jack Black Somersaults Onstage to Accept Comedic Genius Honor at MTV Movie &#038; TV Awards<\/p>\n<p>Lopez got emotional thanking not only the people who have been a part of her life in all the good ways but also those who discouraged her from the crafts in which she has excelled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank all the people who gave me this life;  I want to thank the people who gave me joy, and the ones who broke my heart;  the ones who were true and the ones who lied to me, \u201dshe continued.  \u201cI want to thank true love, and I want to thank the way that I lied to myself because that&#8217;s how I knew that I had to grow.  I want to thank disappointment and failure for teaching me to be strong, and my children for teaching me to love.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank all the people who told me to my face or when I wasn&#8217;t in the room that I couldn&#8217;t do this.  I really don&#8217;t think I could have done it without you.  And I know I couldn&#8217;t have done it without the fans who saw the movies, \u201dshe continued to loud cheers from the audience.<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"link caas-button collapse-button\" aria-label=\"\" title=\"\" data-ylk=\"elm:readmore;slk:Story continues\">Story continues<\/button><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong><br \/>2022 MTV Movie and TV Awards: Complete List of Winners<\/p>\n<p>As Lopez wrapped her speech, she turned her attention to her longtime manager Benny Medina, to praise him for being there all along and one of her biggest supporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank Benny Medina.
