Brie Larson

Woodley and Larson appear on the cover of a June 2014 issue of New York magazine. They talk about being friends and Woodley talks about being compared to Jennifer Lawrence.

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.
