Jennifer Lawrence on The Late Show With David Letterman 1/15/2013

Jennifer Lawrence talked to David Letterman last night on The Late Show. She seems like one of the small circle of celebrities that Dave genuinely loves! They talked about the now-infamous "I beat Meryl" quote, how Jen was a "pathological liar" as a child, and set the record straight on her butt. 

@Late_Show tweeted this picture yesterday evening as Jennifer arrived.

Jennifer Lawrence Wins At The Golden Globe Awards

Jennifer Lawrence took home the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy at the Globes tonight! 

Jennifer looked radiant on the red carpet in Dior Haute Couture despite battling the flu. She told Ryan Seacrest, "I don't want to shake your hand, I have the flu. I'm sorry" She said of her dress, "It's Dior Haute Couture. I don't really know what 'haute' means but I had to say it." 

 

Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell hilariously presented the award for Best Actress, calling Jen "JLaw." 

Jen's acceptance speech was typically funny and sweet. She looked at her award and said, "What does it say? I beat Meryl!" She also said of Harvey Weinstein, co-chair of The Weinstein Company who produced Silver Linings, "Harvey, thank you for killing whoever you had to kill to get me up here today."

After the awards, Jen spoke in the press room about winning the award. The first thing she did was look at the room full of press and say, "What do I do?!"

From her pressroom interview:

On her Golden Globe feelings: "So confused and so happy. Really excited."

What made her connect with the character: "Probably my love for the character, my love for David [O'Russell], and his amazing script"

Is there a song that sets you off like "My Cherie Amour" in the film?  "'Come on Baby Light my Fire.' I was losing at tennis and throwing a total tantrum, and someone drove by playing that song so every time I hear that song I want to throw a tennis racket."

On feelings about working with Bradley Cooper and the Oscar nod: "I feel very good about both those things. Bradley is an amazing actor, an amazing actor to work with and an amazing person with incredible instincts. I feel quite good about Oscar nod. It feels quite wonderful."

On feelings toward the nickname J Law: "That's been going on for years. My, like, 7th grade teacher started say J Law, so to hear Will Ferrell say that is pretty incredible. I'll be getting lots of texts about that!"

On thinking about the Oscars: "That gives me a lot of anxiety, so no. I do think about them. I've been thinking about everyone in the cast since we were shooting. Me and the Oscars together gives me lots of anxiety."

On the dress: "The dress is Dior Haute Couture. I had about 40 people put me into it — no, three. I've never been good at walking in heels."

On working with Robert DeNiro: "Bob is wonderful to work with. He's a really wonderful giving actor. With him I could see his character turning around to Tiffany. He's an ideal actor to work off of. He's so giving." 

On taking the part: "Well I was wrong for the part. I was way too young, but I guess we turned that around. (laughs) We fixed it in post."

 

Congratulations Jennifer! We are so proud of you!

More From Jennifer Lawrence's Vanity Fair Cover Interview

Thanks to FSR and ONTD, we have more of Jennifer Lawrence's Vanity Fair February 2013 cover interview. 

On the difference between Hunger Games director Gary Ross and Catching Fire director Francis Lawrence“They're almost polar opposites,” Lawrence said of the two directors, being quick to add, “and both are completely perfect for these movies. Francis is kind of genius at building different worlds and transporting you into another world. The vibe on set is much quieter. Gary is very energetic. Francis is very laid-back and very calm.”

On the difference between filming Catching Fire and Winter's Bone“The vibe on [Winter’s Bone] set was exactly what makes me love indies. The only reason we were all out there in the freezing cold was because we loved the project. I love that feeling, that desperate, almost pathetic feeling of ‘Are we actually going to be able to pull this off?’”

 

On Silver Linings Playbook director David O. Russell“He’s such a goofball. I love him so much. If Bradley wasn't on the set, we never would have finished the movie. Bradley would come and find David and me making videos, pretending to wipe our asses with coffee napkins, and he would be like, 'We have to finish the day!’”

 

On being discovered“I was in New York, just watching street dancing, and this model scout asked if he could take a picture. I had no idea that was creepy. So I was like, 'Yeah, sure,’ and I gave him my mom's phone number. And then he called and said all these agents wanted to meet, and we were like, 'Might as well.’ I was playing field hockey and cheerleading and wanted to be a doctor—but within 20 minutes, in the cab ride from the hotel room, I decided I didn’t want to be a model, that, in fact, I wanted to be an actress, and I would only sign with an agency if they would let me audition for commercials and act as well. I don't know where that came from. And one of them gave me a script, to audition, the next day, and I read the script and it was the first time I had that feeling like I understand this. This is the first time I've ever understood anything. I was 14. And my brothers were star athletes. And one of them was a straight-A student. I always felt like I sucked at everything, that I could never find the thing that I liked. I auditioned and I probably sucked, but I had decided 100 percent that this is what I wanted to do."

On her casual approach to acting: “I don't even really watch playback [when making a movie]. Not that I'm against it. But I always forget. Every time they call 'Cut,' I'm at the craft tables."

 

On her similarities with Katniss“I read the Hunger Games books when it was Oscar season, so for the first time I was in these dresses which didn't look like me and didn't feel like me. I felt like a walking rag doll. I remember sitting there in hair and makeup, listening to the things that they were talking about, and most of the things I didn't even know. My dad called them the pit crew—they did hair and makeup and nails all at the same time. So I read that and I was like, 'I know exactly how that feels.' And then, in the second book, people's relationships to you suddenly change. You're aware of people staring at you. [...] I call my mom sobbing all the time. But it's dealing with the repercussions of having no more anonymity. You lose privacy. And then, the third book, I teared up when I read it, because she finally realizes she can do good with it. Children are in the hospital. and just going and meeting them can lift their spirits and give them hope. As much as this is a curse, as stupid as it sounds, to make as much money as I am by doing something that I love, it's hard not to regret it when you're being chased by 15 strangers."

 

On the movies she watches over and over: “Yeah, but they're not artistic movies. Things like Dumb and Dumber. Planes, Trains and Automobiles. That's a great movie—I won't make excuses for that one. There's Something About Mary. I just watched that for the 50th time. Bridget Jones's Diary is the one that, no matter when it's on, I will watch it. Anytime.”

 

On being a fan: “I had the basic 'NSync obsession. And Leonardo DiCaprio. But when kids do weird things to me, I'm like, 'I never did that when I was little.' ... I went nuts over Harry Potter and read it four times and pretended I was a witch, but I don't think I would have done some of the—actually, that's not true. I saw Daniel Radcliffe when I was doing David Letterman and I flipped out. I was screaming. So never mind. I take back everything I said.”

 

On her trouble with lying: “I get the weirdest anxiety. I swear to God, I blame my mom. When I was in elementary school, I told everyone I had a leg problem and it required a lot of attention, my imaginary leg problem, and I didn't know if I was going to live or die. And my mother comes to school, and one of my classmates is like, 'How is Jennifer's leg?' And my mom looks at me and she knows I've been lying and she made me purge. I was on the floor and she drew all the lies out of me that I had ever told. She made me tell every single lie, and I was, like, crying. It was horrible! I swear. I blame her. Even the smallest thing, like 'How's your day'?' If' I'm having a bad day and I say, 'It was good,’ I'm like, Oh. God!, and I have to purge."

 

On acting being 'stupid': “On the first movie I met this girl [via Make-a-Wish], and I can't tell this story without crying. [...] She had scars all over her body—burns—and she was telling me she was always so ashamed of the way she looked and she was so embarrassed, and now she has the nickname the Girl on Fire, but she loves it and wears it proudly. It gives her confidence. That was the first time in my entire career that I actually felt like there was a point in this. Not to sound rude, but it 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.'"
