The Jennifer Lawrence quotebook
While most actresses are careful to give the press only the most pristine soundbites, Jennifer Lawrence is known for doing the exact opposite. Even better, it's worked in her favor: The 23-year-old is adored for her off-the-cuff wisecracks and random outbursts, all of which make her seem so normal. Here are some of our favorite JLaw quotes. 
On meeting John Stamos at a party: "I turned into a perverted guy, I was following him into rooms and staring at his a**. ... I just started really freaking out, and he asked me if I was on mushrooms, and I was like, 'No, I am dead sober. This is just me.' " -- To Conan O'Brien in 2013 
On being so popular: "My main worry is that people will start hating what I hate about myself. I worry that everybody will think I am really annoying and just want me to shut up. Which would make so much sense because I annoy myself. ... I guess I want people to know that if they are annoyed with me, I get it, it's totally cool. Please forgive me." -- November 2013 
On her social life: "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." -- Marie Claire South Africa, January 2013 
On friendship: "Girls that don't have girl friends worry me, because girls don't like b**ches. Whenever I hear girls who say, 'Girls just don't like me,' I'm like, 'Well, girls don't like b**ches, so ...' " -- The Telegraph March 2012 
On how to prepare for the Oscars: "I did a shot before." -- February 2013 
On staying humble: "Not to sound rude, but (acting) is stupid. Everybody's like, 'How can you remain with a level head?' And I'm like, 'Why would I ever get cocky? I'm not saving anybody's life. There are doctors who save lives and firemen who run into burning buildings. I'm making movies. It's stupid.'" -- Vanity Fair, January 2013 
On her acting style: "No, I'm not method at all. As soon as they call 'cut,' I'm thinking about food and moving on." -- November 2012 
On pressure to be thin: "If anybody even tries to whisper the word 'diet,' I'm like, 'You can go f*** yourself.' " -- October 2013 
On her quotable honesty: "I'm so aware of all the B.S. that surrounds Hollywood, and how everyone gets on this high horse and thinks that they're curing cancer and it makes me so uncomfortable every time I see it. So I go in the exact opposite direction and end up saying something like 'I'm pregnant!' when I'm in two franchises." -- January 2013 
Her first sentence to Woody Harrelson: " 'Hi, Woody, I'm J -- is that a sex swing?' " -- April 2012 
On what she'd do with more free time: "I would spend more time on the couch, less time showering. If I don't have anything to do all day, I might not put my pants on." -- March 2012 
Her advice to young girls struggling with body image: "Screw those people (who judge others based on appearance). If you don't look like an airbrushed model ...you have to look past it. You look how you look. What are you going to do, be hungry every single day to make other people happy? That's just dumb." -- November 2013
