Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence looks radiant as she graces the June issue of Marie Claire magazine. The 23yr old talks to the magazine about her hectic acting schedule, the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman and much more. Check out the excerpts below.
On maintaining her relationship with Nicholas Hoult:
“When we’re busy, we agree to mutually ignore each other. Not completely, but neither of us gets mad when the other doesn’t text back or call. Life’s super-busy. Obviously you know what they’re doing, and you trust them. We’re so young that it would almost be like if we lived in the same city, what would happen? We’d be living together. At least this way he’s in the same boat as I am: We can go out and have our own lives and know that we have each other.”
On her candor:
“I’m not like, ‘I’m a rebel; I’m out of control.’ I just don’t think about things before I say them or do them.”
On realistic movie characters :
”Show somebody who crawls into bed without washing her face and brushing her teeth because she’s hammered—then I can get on board. Show me somebody who just shaves her shins and not her thighs.”
On the death of The Hunger Games costar Philip Seymour Hoffman (Plutarch Heavensbee) :
“I work very hard to forget that day. It just sucks. When you lose a friend, someone who you really like and who makes you laugh, it takes so long for it to sink in.”
On friendship :
“I don’t trust a girl who doesn’t have any girlfriends. I have really close girlfriends, but they are guys like me—girls who eat and don’t know anything about fashion.”
On rumors that she’s jealous of Kristen Stewart, Nicholas Hoult’s costar in the upcoming sci-fi romance Equals :
”There was something in a magazine, and I was like, ‘Oh, my God, that’s hilarious,’ because Kristen and I are friends. I actually texted her a picture of it and was like, ‘Just so you know, this is absolutely true.’”
On being up against Lupita Nyong’o for the 2014 Best Supporting Actress Oscar :
”I was very happy I voted for Lupita. It’s beautiful when you watch something good happen to somebody when it’s well deserved.”
On tripping on the red carpet:
“I’m trying to do the right thing, waving to fans, trying to be nice, and there’s a traffic cone. The second I hit it, I was laughing, but on the inside I was like, ‘You’re f*cked. They’re totally going to think this is an act…’But trust me if I was going to plan it, I would have done it at the Golden Globes or the SAGs. I would have never done it at two Oscars in a row. I watch Homeland – I’m craftier than that!”
On being a teenage :
“Socially, it’s so hard-core. There are all these peers judging you, and you’re never cool enough, never wearing the right outfit, saying the right thing. You don’t get out of middle school. You don’t get out of high school. There are always going to be people saying you’re a slut because you went out on a date on Friday, or you’re a bitch because you didn’t call somebody back because you have a life. I want everyone to like me. Who doesn’t [want that]? But if they don’t, you’ve gotta move on. Then you grow up and become famous, and it’s the same thing multiplied by a billion!”
