Latin actress Jennifer Lopez considers the media's over-exposure as the one who is responsible for hampering her acting career. Looking upon her past experience in securing a role in "Out of Sight" and "U-Turn," she feels that it is easier to earn a role she desires before the media nails her.

"In the beginning, I was a blank slate. I got to work with all these great directors because I was just a girl who came in there and did well in the audition," she said. "Then when I became famous, I was being offered movies that I could star in but that's all I was being offered. When I think I should be seeing the big directors, they don't even consider me. They see me as a sexy singer and too much in the media."
