I’ll Tell You Something

Jennifer Lawrence sat down with the LA Times to chat about her new film, body issues, and so much more. Highlights are below.

On wanting Katniss to be a good role model for girls: “With Katniss, I never meant to make a big deal about it [weight]. It was just important she was strong and a warrior instead of being wasted away, especially when, without a doubt, she’s going to be a role model for a lot of young girls. I thought it would be better for them to say, ‘I could look like Katniss’ rather than ‘I’ll never be able to look like that if I keep eating.'”

On her character Tiffany in Silver Linings Playbook: “Tiffany’s learned that there’s always going to be parts of her that are off, that aren’t normal, that aren’t like everyone else, but you have to accept and forgive yourself. That’s the most important thing she could have learned and, hopefully, our audience could learn too.”
