Multihyphenate Jennifer Lopez recently spoke on a wide range of topics during a very candid interview that she ultimately seems to have regretted—the Q&A was originally done for a major fashion magazine that quashed the story at Jenny's request.

But now it has surfaced online, and here are some of the highlights that really caught our attention!

• On having a breakdown while shooting the 2002 film Enough: "There was a time when I was very overworked and I was doing music and movies and so many things. I was suffering from a lack of sleep. And I did have a kind of nervous breakdown. I froze up on a set. Well, not on a set, but in my trailer. I was like, 'I don't want to move. I don't want to talk. I don't want to do anything'...Yeah. I did. I had a nervous breakdown."

• As for her thoughts on Scientology, whose famous members include pals Tom Cruise and Leah Remini...

"I do know a lot about Scientology. And I know about the practices," she says. Although she herself is not a follower, she adds, "I wouldn't have a problem saying [I was] because I know what it is. I have no problems with it."

In fact, Lopez would consider sending her twins, Emme and Max, to a Scientology school because she knows "the techonologies that they have are very helpful."

• Regarding the decision to pose with her kids on the cover of People magazine for a reported $6 million: "I think one of the reasons the price went so high is that we didn't want to do it for so long...We weren't into it. I was like, 'No, I don't really want to. No. No way.' But then it got to the point that you go, 'Well, now you're being stupid with these offers.' I thought, I can set them up. I can put this away just for them. We gave a little bit and I saved the rest for them."
