When you don't have anybody to take care of you, then you could go both ways: You could do whatever you want, or you could take charge and be your own parent.

More quotes by Jennifer Lawrence
I'm very, very thirsty for knowledge. Just because I'm good at something and have found success doesn't mean I'm done. I'm not even close to being done. I don't know if I ever will be done learning.
Jennifer Lawrence
I really love acting. I really do. I really just think of myself like a working woman. And I just go from set to set and work. You have to promote a movie you have to work. People are going to have opinions and it's weirdly very easy to kind of block out the world because you have your own.
Jennifer Lawrence
Eating is one of my favorite parts of the day
Jennifer Lawrence
When I'm not working, I am the laziest person. I can literally lie on a couch and watch television for 15 hours.
Jennifer Lawrence
Seeing what is wrong and how it could be made right propels us into action, but in that action we often leave other people behind and don't give ourselves enough time to be present, or to stop and reflect. Leaders have to get comfortable with pausing in that uncomfortable gap.
Jennifer Lawrence
I started to write an apology, but I don't have anything to say I'm sorry for.
Jennifer Lawrence
If I don't have anything to do all day, I might not even put my pants on.
Jennifer Lawrence
Sometimes I feel like a vampire
Jennifer Lawrence
I'm always just very nervous. I never feel like, 'I've got this'. I'm always very nervous and aware of how quickly people can hate you and that scares me. I never feel like I'm on top of it or I know what I'm doing... so, no. I never get a big head, I just get more and more anxious.
Jennifer Lawrence
I'm from Kentucky. I used to be very personable and make eye contact and smile at people, and now all I do is look down. When I'm at dinner and one person after another keeps interrupting to take pictures, it's like, I can't live like this.
Jennifer Lawrence
I tried to avoid making plays or films that weren't telling a story that I felt was important. And what I discovered in the process is, it makes you more empathic because you have to enter someone else's reality and you learn to see through many other people's eyes.
Jennifer Lawrence
I picked up an issue of 'Cosmopolitan' the other day that had tips for job interviews, because I was like, I need to get better at interviews. The article was basically about how to get someone not to hate you in 20 minutes. Every single thing they told you not to do, I was like, I do that every day.
Jennifer Lawrence
You have a choice. You don’t have to be a person who spreads negativity and lies for a living. You can do something good. You can be good. Let’s just make that choice and — it feels better.
Jennifer Lawrence
Being inappropriate comes easy to me.
Jennifer Lawrence
Acting, films, scripts, is literally the only thing I’m 100 percent confident in. I know what I’m doing. I just understand it, and I love it. When I’m on set, that’s when I feel the most at home and in control.
Jennifer Lawrence
I get photographers hiding in my bushes. We're way past autographs. We're into being stalked and followed.
Jennifer Lawrence
I think all mothers are a nightmare - i don't think you can have children and not lose your goddamn mind.
Jennifer Lawrence
You can't ever let yourself be thrown by a camera. That's never good for an actor. When you're reading the script, you want to work with someone you trust so there's nothing to worry about.
Jennifer Lawrence
I like to adapt to a director's way of working. I love doing that. Each director is so different, and you have to adapt to this new way of doing something. That's what's amazing to me. That's why I love directors. I don't want to director to have to work around me. I think it's more fun for me to come in on their thing.
Jennifer Lawrence
I don't know if this is why everything has worked so well and I'm not sure I'd recommend this kind of thinking to anyone else, but I've always known I'd be successful in acting. I have certainly worked for it.
Jennifer Lawrence
