Yeah, I screamed in Daniel Radcliffe's face. We were both doing Letterman. I grabbed him by the shoulder. Of course, I'm in 6-inch heels. That makes me 6-foot-4. I'm towering over him, saying, 'I love Harry Potter!' His security people were nodding to each other - should we go?

Better passion and death than any more of these'isms'. No more of the old purpose done up in aspic. Better passion and death.

My cousin cleaned out a shotgun for me and let me carry it around the house, because he said, 'Anybody who knows anything about guns is going to know in a second if someone has held a gun before.' I didn't want to be that person. I wanted to be practiced.

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.

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.

If I don't have anything to do all day, I might not even put my pants on.
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

I do have big ambitions, but I think we all do. I just want to keep working hard and being happy.

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.

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.

I get photographers hiding in my bushes. We're way past autographs. We're into being stalked and followed.

People treating you differently, when you don't feel any different, is really alienating.
Jennifer Lawrence
Image
I'm still getting used to everything. It still makes me a little emotional, just to see how quickly everything kind of changes - that it changes so fast.
