Jennifer Lawrence

“The experience only adds to the dread, because I’ve had so many experiences of working so hard on something, loving something so deeply, and then releasing it to the world, and the world just being like, ‘Boo! Hate you!’ It is so awful,”

“Christian Bale changed me a lot”

“If he didn’t like something, he was just like: ‘That was terrible. Looked like shit. Do it better.’ And that was a very helpful conversation. How so? I don’t know. ‘Slower! Not so loud!’ I’m not sensitive. I don’t know how you can be in this industry.”

“Doing interviews is really scary. I’m very blessed, I’m very lucky, I’m very grateful. But it’s terrifying,”

“I’m voting for Kamala Harris because I think she’s an amazing candidate, and I know that she will do whatever she can to protect reproductive rights. That’s the most important thing, is to not let somebody into the White House who is going to ban abortion.”

“[Expletive], that’s it. Nobody’s gonna believe that I fell two years in a row… everybody thought that meant everything that I did was fake and it was all a shtick. This is how it felt to me. That I got found out as this fraud.”

“I had let myself be hijacked.”

“I found out that a lot of filmmakers that I really loved and admired had scripts that weren’t even reaching me,”

“Well, it is, or it was, my genuine personality, but it was also a defense mechanism,”

“And so it was a defense mechanism, to just be, like, ‘I’m not like that! I poop my pants every day!’ … I look at those interviews, and that person is annoying. I get why seeing that person everywhere would be annoying. Ariana Grande’s impression of me on ‘SNL’ was spot-on.”

“I just think everybody had gotten sick of me. I’d gotten sick of me. It had just gotten to a point where I couldn’t do anything right. If I walked a red carpet, it was, ‘Why didn’t she run?’”

“As online trolls like to point out every time I get involved in politics, I didn't go to school, I dropped out of middle school, so I don't have a classic education,”

“That's the most important thing, is to not let somebody into the White House who is going to ban abortion.”

“So storytelling is where I get most of my education.”

“I’m nervous for you. I’m nervous for me. I’m nervous for the readers!”
