Where Do I Go From Here

Shailene Woodley is on the cover of New York Magazine. The star graces the cover with her real life best friend, Brie Larson, who she met on the set of The Spectacular Now.

In the issue, the duo talk their friendship, on always being compared to other woman, their upcoming projects, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.

Shailene on her friendship with Brie: “Together, we are able to refine our ideas. In the past, we would talk about how people told us that if we wanted ‘success,’ we’d have to dress a certain way, act a certain way. Brie and I always felt different, and, suddenly, when we met, that was okay. In fact, it was great.”

On being compared to other women: As women, we are constantly told that we need to compare ourselves to a girl in school, to our co-workers, to the images in a magazine. How is the world going to advance if we’re always comparing ourselves to others.

I admire Jennifer Lawrence, but she’s everyone’s favorite person to compare me to. Is it because we both have short hair and a vagina? I see us as separate individuals. And that’s important. As women, our insecurities are based on all these comparisons. And that creates distress.”
