Transcript

00:00 Obviously, Selena made you a household name as well.

00:02 I mean, looking back, I mean, it's been so many years now,

00:04 but looking back at that time in your life,

00:07 what was that experience like for you?

00:08 That, working on Selena, playing Chris,

00:13 that one is, that's the heart.

00:16 So that's here forever.

00:19 It was obviously a sad time,

00:23 and it's a shame that we had to make the movie,

00:26 because obviously she wasn't here anymore.

00:28 So that was, and I'm still friends with Chris.

00:30 Chris is just an amazing guitarist,

00:32 and he's still out there making his music.

00:34 Check out his music, it's incredible.

00:37 So we're still friends.

00:38 I love that.

00:39 But that was an amazing time.

00:40 Jennifer Lopez, she just did such an incredible job

00:43 as Selena, and I had a great time working with her.

00:46 Yeah, so that's Selena, that's here.

00:48 Yeah.

00:49 That's right here.

00:50 Definitely.

00:51 Did you realize at the time,

00:52 did you think that Jennifer

00:53 would become what she is today,

00:54 working with her back then?

00:56 You know, people always say,

00:57 "Hey, hey, man, I wasn't working with J.Lo."

00:59 She wasn't J.Lo when I worked with her.

01:00 Sure, yeah, yeah.

01:01 She was Jenny, and she still is.

01:04 But she, I give her credit,

01:06 because she had goals and said

01:11 she wanted to be where she's at today.

01:13 She envisioned it, she saw it, and she worked hard.

01:16 She worked hard to get there.

01:18 She's definitely someone I think

01:20 a lot of young women could look up to.

01:23 Oh yeah, her work ethic parallels it.
