The New Yorker<\/a>, the actress said she cringes watching her moments with the press from the earlier days of her career.<\/p>\n\u201cOh, no. So hyper. So embarrassing,\u201d Lawrence said of those interviews.<\/p>\n
She went into more detail about why she feels this way.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, it is, or it was, my genuine personality, but it was also a defense mechanism,\u201d Lawrence said. \u201cAnd so it was a defense mechanism, to just be, like, \u2018I\u2019m not like that! I poop my pants every day!\u2019 \u2026 I look at those interviews, and that person is annoying. I get why seeing that person everywhere would be annoying. Ariana Grande\u2019s impression of me on SNL was spot-on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lawrence is referencing a Saturday Night Live bit from 2016. Grande played the actress in a Celebrity Family Feud sketch, saying lines like, \u201cI\u2019m just, like, a snackaholic. I mean, I love Pringles. If no one\u2019s looking, I\u2019ll eat, like, a whole can.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lawrence said the backlash against her at the time became “uninhabitable.”<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt \u2014 I didn\u2019t feel, I was, I think \u2014 rejected not for my movies, not for my politics, but for me, for my personality,\u201d Lawrence said.<\/p>\n
She said this experience made her think differently about how she approaches her day-to-day life.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was people-pleasing for the majority of my life. Working made me feel like nobody could be mad at me: \u2018Okay, I said yes, we\u2019re doing it. Nobody\u2019s mad.\u2019 And then I felt like I reached a point where people were not pleased just by my existence,” Lawrence said. “So that kind of shook me out of thinking that work or your career can bring any kind of peace to your soul.\u201d<\/p>\n
