W cover

Lawrence appears on the cover of the October 2012 issue of W magazine. She talks about trying to keep her Hunger Games role a secret, dancing before Silver Linings Playbook, and life in Hollywood.

Sadly, I cannot live in Los Angeles anymore. I don’t understand how actors can do it. You have no life here. You are followed everywhere. It’s not like that anywhere else in the world. I don’t want to stay in L.A. and start thinking that’s reality— because it’s very far from normal. But I still love movies. I’m just going to love being in them from Kentucky, or Prague, or somewhere else.
