Lawrence: "I'm over trying to find the 'adorable' way to state my opinion and still be likeable."

Lawrence: “I have an amazing group of friends who are not in the business, who I trust… Because I don’t feel any different… So I surround myself with people who don’t fake laugh at my jokes.”

Lawrence: “There’s so many different ways to be beautiful… Our idea of what is ‘curvy’ is so bizarre.”

Lawrence: “In Hollywood, I’m obese. I’m considered a fat actress. I eat like a caveman. I’ll be the only actress that doesn’t have anorexia rumors! I’m never going to starve myself for a part. I’m invincible. I don’t want little girls to be like ‘Oh, I want to look like Katniss, so I’m going to skip dinner!’”

Lawrence: "People treating you differently, when you don't feel any different, is really alienating."

Lawrence: “I spilled milk this morning. Last night I spilled red wine all over the rug. All I want to be able to do is just walk from one place to another without falling!”

Lawrence: "My career is one thing in my life that I don't plan."

Lawrence: “I find a certain peace by thinking of me in public as sort of an avatar self. You out there can have the avatar me. I can keep me. And I just try to acknowledge that this scrutiny is stressful, and that anyone would find it stressful. So I’ve got to try to let it go, and try to be myself, and focus on important things, like picking up dog poop.”

Lawrence: “Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.”

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.”

Lawrence: "Being inappropriate comes easy to me."

Lawrence: “I really would not call myself a fashion icon. I would call myself somebody who gets dressed by professionals. [It’s like], ‘Dance, monkey, dance’ right on the red carpet. I would call me more of a monkey.”

Lawrence: “I’m a horrible dancer! I’m like a dad at prom. I look like Gumby getting electrocuted.”

Lawrence: “I don’t like going out that much. I’m kind of an old lady. After it’s 11, I’m like, ‘Don’t these kids ever get tired?’ When I’m out, I think about my couch. Like, ‘It would be awesome to be on it right now. I bet there’s an episode of Dance Moms on.’”

Lawrence: "I'm incredibly stubborn ... but I am very maternal too."

Lawrence: “You do become more aware of your mortality as you get older. When you’re little, you jump on any wild horse. Then you get a little bit older and realize how fragile life is, and you’re more careful.”

Lawrence: “It doesn’t matter how much money I make, unfairness in prices really fires me up. Like shopping in L.A and a T-shirt costs $150.”

Lawrence: “If anybody even tries to whisper the word ‘diet,’ I’m like, ‘You can go f*ck yourself.”

Lawrence: “I put in my time; I lived in a rat-infested apartment when I was 14 and I was told ‘No’ many times. I put my blood, sweat and tears into all of this. It’s easy to look from the outside and see my career grew very fast but there was a time before that career when I was working for it and I definitely wouldn’t have wanted that time to go on any longer.”

Lawrence: "If a woman is determined, she will get what she wants because we are very determined creatures."

Lawrence: “I like the financial security because I know how hard it is for so many people who struggle to earn a living. I’m grateful I don’t have to worry about money and I can live very freely and do something I love and get paid very well to do it. I tell my friends to slap me if they ever think I’m getting full of myself.”

Lawrence: "I do have big ambitions, but I think we all do."

Lawrence: "Once I enter a public place, I become incredibly rude. I turn into a huge asshole, and that's kind of like my only way of defending myself."

Lawrence: “A few weeks ago at work, I spoke my mind and gave my opinion in a clear and no bullsh*t way; no aggression, just blunt. The man I was working with - actually, he was working for me - said, ‘Whoa! We’re all on the same team here!’ As if I was yelling at him. I was so shocked because nothing that I said was personal, offensive, or, to be honest, wrong. All I hear and see all day are men speaking their opinions, and I give mine in the same exact manner, and you would have thought I had said something offensive.”

Lawrence: “Be comfortable. What are you going to do? Be hungry every single day to make other people happy? That’s just dumb.”

Lawrence: "And when I'm on set, I'm just thinking about the script and of working. I think I've stayed focused on the work so much that I haven't really noticed my life start to change except for I've gotten busier."

Lawrence: “Why is humiliating people funny?…I think it should be illegal to call somebody ‘fat’ on TV. If we’re regulating cigarettes and sex and cusswords because of the effect that it has on our younger generation, then why aren’t we regulating things like calling people ‘fat’?”

Lawrence: "I'm just a girl, sitting in front of the world and asking them to forgive her for speaking."

Lawrence "We need to tell each other our stories. We need to show that everyone — our neighbors, our families, our community leaders — everyone we know is touched by corruption."

Lawrence: "My view on the election is pretty cut-and-dried: If Donald Trump is president of the United States, it will be the end of the world."

Lawrence: "As hard as it is and as tired as I am, I force myself to get dinner at least once a week with my girlfriends, or have a sleepover. Otherwise my life is just work."

Lawrence: "Anytime you're away from your home filming, it messes with your head."

Lawrence: "I never think it's right to chew gum in front of other people, but a lot of times I'll come in for a meeting chewing gum and I'll forget I'm chewing it. Then you don't want to swallow it because it stays in your system for seven years or something, so I've asked to throw it away. I've started to wonder if that's why I didn't get certain movies."

Lawrence: "I wanted to write this one director a letter, so I wrote him a handwritten note. But then I was like, 'How many people are writing this guy handwritten letters? Is it going to seem cheesy?"

Lawrence: "I was raised a Republican, but I just can't imagine supporting a party that doesn't support women's basic rights."

Lawrence: "I couldn't be happier about being a part of 'Hunger Games' and to play Katniss. I have a huge responsibility to the fans of this incredible book and I don't take it lightly. I will give everything I have to these movies and to this role to make it worthy of Suzanne Collins' masterpiece."

Lawrence: "Everyone's brain works in a different way. I didn't feel smart in school; I just didn't get it. I thought I was an idiot. Until I got out."

Lawrence: "The internet to me is kind of like a black hole, and I never really go on it."

Lawrence: "I'd like to direct at some point. But I don't know because 10 years ago I would have never imagined that I'd be here. So in 10 years from now, I might be running a rodeo."

Lawrence: “Why can’t we just be nice? It’s like, we grow up and then we get right back into high school.”

Lawrence: “I don’t really diet or anything. I’m miserable when I’m dieting and I like the way I look. I’m really sick of all these actresses looking like birds…I’d rather look a little chubby on camera and look like a person in real life, than look great on screen and look like a scarecrow in real life.”
