ADD QUOTES
- Ben: (on appearing in (his then fiancee) Jennifer Lopez's music video, 'Jenny From The Block') If I have a big regret, it was doing the music video. But that happened years ago. I've moved on. It not only makes me look like a petulant fool (to blame Lopez), but it surely qualifies as ungentlemanly? For the record, did she hurt my career? No.
  Edit Share Hide
- Ben: (in 2007 about his toddler Violet) She's happy as hell. All I want to do is go home, just to be around her again.
  Edit Share Hide
- Ben: (on his previous romance with Jennifer Lopez) It was probably bad for my career. What happens in this sort of bleed-over from the tabloids across your movie work. I ended up in an unfortunate crosshair position where I was in a relationship and the media mostly lied and inflated a bunch of salacious stuff for the sake of selling magazines. And I paid a certain price for that.
