Jennifer Lawrence Opens Up About Her Close Friendships With Adele, Emma Stone, and Amy Schumer

On moving to New York to pursue an acting career: "Yeah. My mom always says she . . . wanted me to fail so that I could come home, because not failing meant me being in New York. She lost a daughter, really, at 14. I mean, she's very proud of me. She got on board when she saw how happy it made me. Because I knew."

On Chris Pratt being called the male Jennifer Lawrence: "Yeah. But I'm a little meaner. Chris Pratt is always in a good mood. We laugh all day . . . . He's like a chocolate Santa. He's just like if a dog came to life and was like, 'I'm a great actor with a perfect face.' And he's got the most lovely family."

On how she's not putting on an act: "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. 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 upcoming project with Amy Schumer: "I saw Trainwreck in July, and I emailed her. I just knew: 'This b*tch needs to write a movie for me.' The next day she wrote back with a story line, which is unheard of. And now it's complete, and it's good! But it's definitely not a politically correct film."

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*ck about what I do."

On how she deems her personal style: "'Slutty power lesbian.' That is literally what I say to a stylist. 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."

On calling her stolen nude photos a a sex crime, not a scandal: "If I was quiet, it would have seemed like I was ashamed. And I wasn't ashamed; I was enraged. Not once have I felt like I 'learned a lesson.' I didn't do anything wrong! It doesn't matter what the situation is. It's your body. And you can do whatever you want."

On being completely fulfilled without a man in her life: "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."

On the downside of being well-known: "I think that we should be allowed time off [from being famous] . . . . Three months. 'Oh, it's my three months off. You can't photograph me.' I would love to be able to control being photographed. Then I wouldn't have a new headline out today that I wore the same jeans three days in a row."
