Jennifer Lawrence was named one of EW’s ‘Entertainers of the Year’, and she talks about what an extraordinary year it has been for in an exclusive with EW. When asked whether there’s any decision that she made that she was particularly proud of, she says, “Personally, yes. Business-wise no. I don’t think I’ve ever done that. No matter what anyone says, I’m my own worst critic.”

She continues that that personal choice was the decision to not buy a house, saying, “I was going to buy a place and then I realized that I’m just not old enough to own property. Everybody else was — Josh and Liam [her Hunger Games co-stars] bought a house, I was like, Okay I got to buy a house, that’s what’s supposed to happen. And then I finally was like ‘You know what? I’m going to rent until I’m old enough to buy a house.’ That was a huge weight off my shoulders.”
She also talks about avoiding paparazzi attention that plagues so many young stars, and clears up a rumor about her dating John Meyer, saying, “I’m just really boring. [Laughs] They’ve tried. There’ve been stories that are so not true and quotes that have been taken completely out of context. Like I’m dating John Mayer, when I’ve met him once. But the truth is I’m always in my house at five and sitting on my couch and going to bed at nine.”

Finally, she talks about one of her proudest moments, saying, “At the Toronto Film Festival for the Silver Linings Playbook premiere. I couldn’t sit with them [her parents] because I had to sit with the cast. I went out first [afterwards] and then I saw them and my Dad had tears in his eyes. I’ve never seen my Dad with tears in his eyes, ever. My first thought was that someone hurt him or something! ‘What’s happened to my Dad?’ My mom was crying too but she always cries. They were really proud. That was probably the one moment I allowed myself to feel good and proud. ‘Okay, Mommy and Daddy are happy. They’re proud of me. This is awesome.’”
