The year 2012 was tough for Lopez as she split from husband Marc Anthony after seven years of marriage. <img alt="Jennifer Lopez" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jan/lopez_2.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 581px;" /> Jennifer Lopez. Pic/Santa Banta &quot;I think I am now ready to really work as an actress. Maybe because I am different now. I have suffered some experiences lately,&quot; she told New York Post newspaper, reports femalefirst.co.uk. &quot;These last years, I have had to face life. The truth is, that must be it. To be a great actress you must live through difficult times in order to feel it and remember that pain,&quot; she added. &quot;Parker&quot; director Taylor Hackford has also praised the 43-year-old star&#39;s acting skills in the film, admitting he was knocked out by her talent. &quot;Jennifer&#39;s wonderful in this. I have known her. After I did a couple of drafts, I called her. The action&#39;s set in Palm Beach, and, since Florida&#39;s really Latin America, who&#39;s better than Jennifer? &quot;Her work knocked me out. There&#39;s moments in other projects that I knew were not great. Give an actor notes, best he will give you is 25 per cent. Give Lopez notes, and she gives you 100 percent,&quot; said Hackford.

Singer Jennifer Lopez, who will be seen on the big screen in upcoming crime thriller "Parker", believes the difficulties in her personal life have helped her become a better actress.
