Woodley appears on the cover of April 2015 issue of Elle magazine. She talks about her upbringing, life, and love.

When you’re truly in love, for me, it’s…you’re my lighthouse! You’re somebody who holds me high, keeps me safe, you’ve got my f—kin’ back. You also love me whole, wild, and free. You let me do me, and I’m gonna let you do you! And I’ll be the home that you return to.

Woodley appears on the cover of Glamour UK. Woodley discusses her views on sexuality and nudity after posing topless for the magazine.

I’m totally comfortable with nudity. I’m not sure it empowers me as an actress or anything, but if I’m going to do a movie with sex scenes, then I’m going to be naked, because I don’t know about you, but I don’t have sex with bras and panties on….Part of the reason I love Europe is that sexuality is no big deal there. You go to a topless beach and the dudes aren’t checking out your tits, because they’re just boobs. [In America] sex is something that’s not talked about – yet it’s in our faces more than anything else.

For a few hours it was literally like, “Oh, my God, was I awful? Why did they cut me? What are people going to think?” I woke up the next morning and I was like, “O.K., it makes total sense.” I’m a pretty spiritual person, so I can just sit back and trust that everything happens for a reason, even if my ego doesn’t like it.

I have really, really thick hair and it was extremely long. And then I thought about it and I was like, wow, this is so many years, and so many layers and so many lessons are in this hair and I am starting this new phase in my life as a woman in a way, and cutting my hair was a fun cleansing of like what could mean something new.

shailene-woodley-brie-larson-cover-new-york-magazineWoodley 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.

I have zero expectations and zero rules. I’m open. I can’t see it being another actor, except that they understand this lifestyle. Hey I could fall in love with an Aussie and move to Australia. Who knows!

I was the latest bloomer there ever was. I was still playing with Barbies at 14 and didn’t have my first kiss until 15-and-a-half. He had big, beautiful lips, and I was like, ‘I don’t know what I’m going to do with those.’

shailene-woodley-13Woodley appears on the cover of the April 2014 issue of Teen Vogue magazine. She talks about hookups on the set of Divergent and shares advice she got from Jennifer Lawerence and George Clooney.

Doing an action movie is completely different from one based in reality. It’s much harder to act with a green screen than with another human being. There are so many special effects in this film, so it was really amazing to see how they turned out.

You are so good at building confidence in me and then I just keep giving you more and in turn you give more and it’s this beautiful cycle and I can honestly say that you and Alexander Payne [the director of The Descendants and Sideways] are pretty much the only two people I have ever worked with who give you that sort of confidence.

I’m so young, and I’m single, and I just want to drift. I’m just going to be a drifter. I want to do something totally different before Insurgent [the second film in the Divergent trilogy]. Maybe I’ll work in a tea shop. Or live in Amsterdam. Or be a nanny. Life experience only helps us as actors. I need new experiences to draw upon.

shailene-woodley-ew-coverWoodley and James feature on the magazine’s cover, and talk about their approach to life in Hollywood. Woodley:

We’re not into the industry and have separate lives outside of it. That’s refreshing. I don’t know what I would do if Four was played by someone who cared what he looked like or spent more time in front of the mirror than I do.

shailene-woodley-asos-magazineWoodley appears on the cover of the June 2012 issue of ASOS magazine. She talks about not paying attention to fame, criticism on her Oscar dress, and looking towards being in movies.

Movies are where my heart is at. I love dark roles – roles that appear scary. Not in a horror film way, but like ‘Black Swan’ or ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.’ Films that take the audience on an emotional journey. And I would love to play Patti Smith in a film one day – I’m re-reading her autobiography, I’m obsessed with it.

shailene-woodley-malibu-magWoodley appears on the cover of the March 2012 issue of Malibu magazine. She talks about taking acting classes and dressing up.

No, I’m not a girlie girl at all. I never wear dresses. I’m always in either long, baggy skirts that I can still do ‘crisscross applesauce’ in, or blue jeans. I’m very lucky to work with a stylist who cares about fashion, because I don’t at all. And I’m very lucky to have a makeup artist and hair guy who are really good at what they do, because I would go to events with no makeup and no hair and in pajamas if I could.

shailene-woodley-coco-ecoWoodley appears on the cover of the January/February 2012 issue of Coco Eco magazine. She talks about her passion for the eco-system, on believing what will be will be, and her lifelong goals.

Our population is so large, and there hasn’t been a company or an organization that has stepped up and provided organic food to people on a lower income level. So one of my goals in life is to start a giant organic, biodynamic farm and have it fun like a community, but sell the produce for less than conventional prices. I think the education is an important element for me too.

What we got to use, it was me, but it wasn’t. It was kind of like the alter-ego me. It was awesome.
