Jennifer Lawrence: 'I Feel Like I'm Over-Paid Attention To'

Jennifer Lawrence exposes her bra and underwear in this inside image from her Glamour magazine February 2016 issue, on newsstands January 12.

Here’s what the 25-year-old Joy actress had to share:

On if she feels misunderstood by the media: “I don’t feel like I’m misunderstood. I feel like I’m over-paid-attention-to. I’m not trying to be a GIF. I’m not trying to be a picked-up-on-Twitter quote. All I’m trying to do is act. And I have to promote these movies. And I am, at the end of the day, I guess, a f–king lunatic. So if you record what I’m saying, it’s gonna be goofy. [Laughs.] What do I do? What do I do? I’m just a girl, sitting in front of the world and asking them to forgive her for speaking.”

On her friendships with Emma Stone, Adele, and Amy Schumer: “I love Emma. She cracks me up; she’s so ‘theater.’ She’s so adorable. And Adele and I met, like, a year or so ago. Adele and I are a bit harsher; Emma’s never had a bad thought about anybody in her life. It’s so weird; I don’t like new people. But these two women�”and Amy�”they’re really lovely. And they’re so normal. I feel like I’m hanging out with my friends�”my friends that don’t give a f–k about what I do…. Amy’s always wanted to live on Martha’s Vineyard, and we saw this house, and we’re like, ‘This is where we’re gonna Grey Gardens, and we’re gonna grow old and crazy together.’ That’s our life plan.”

On how she describes her style: “‘Slutty power lesbian.’ That is literally what I say to a stylist. [Laughs.] I don’t know if that’s offensive…. You don’t see me as a slutty power lesbian on the red carpet a lot, because I’m embodying the Dior woman, which is an honor…. But [also] I’ve got tits and an ass. And there are things that are made for skinny people�”like a lot of embroidery, or it covers a lot�”and those make me look fat. I have to show the lumps. If you have boobs, you have to show, like, ‘These are boobs. This isn’t cellulite.’ [Laughs.] Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”

On dating: “I don’t, like, date a lot. I don’t meet a lot of guys who I want to go on a date with. I’ll find a guy attractive maybe once a year. But I’m not a lonely person. Me not dating someone is not a lack of anything in any way. I feel completely fulfilled. Yes, when I spark with someone, it’s exciting, but I definitely don’t need that….”
