More quotes by Jennifer Lawrence
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.
Jennifer Lawrence
I adapt to directors, I don't like making directors adapt to me. If I'm with Clint Eastwood then I'll do two takes, if I'm with Fincher I'll do 50 - though the thought of that sounds horrible.
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
I've got five or six amazing friends that I trust and love, I know exactly who I am and don't care about anything else.
Jennifer Lawrence
It's hard to do, but I think it's really important to go back and watch yourself.
Jennifer Lawrence
I'm the youngest in a family where I didn't have to take responsibility for much.
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 memorize my lines and I show up. I think it's just instinctual, and sometimes it's wrong and the director says, No, do it this way. And then I can change, because I didn't spend all night practicing it this one way. All I do to get ready for the day is the night before, I read my lines once or twice, memorize them, and then I show up.
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'm not ready to own a place yet. I have the money, but I don't have the maturity.
Jennifer Lawrence
Better passion and death than any more of these'isms'. No more of the old purpose done up in aspic. Better passion and death.
Jennifer Lawrence
I was having chest pains. Photoshop made it glamorous.
Jennifer Lawrence
Knowledge is honestly everything. It's not just books and staying behind a desk and having a diploma. There's also traveling and knowledge about people, and what I do and scripts and books.
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
I get photographers hiding in my bushes. We're way past autographs. We're into being stalked and followed.
Jennifer Lawrence
Anybody that makes fun of me, I'm like, 'Yeah, and then I got touched by Hugh Jackman'
Jennifer Lawrence
If I don't have anything to do all day, I might not even put my pants on.
Jennifer Lawrence
I have the street smarts and survival skills of, like, a poodle.
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 mean, if we're regulating cigarettes and sex and cuss words, because of the effect they have on our younger generation, why aren't we regulating things like calling people fat?
