196 Awesome Jennifer Lawrence Quotes That Will Make You Fall For Her
Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence is almost as known for saying whatever comes in her mind as she is for her performances. She has gained a certain amount of notoriety for this in Hollywood. However, her outspoken and candid personality has also endeared her to her fans. She grew up in the US state of Kentucky and had a highly unsheltered childhood. When she was nine or 10 years old, she developed a brief interest in wood-chopping.

Here are some of her quotes on people, failure, life, work, responsibility, character and movies.
