Jennifer Lawrence graces the January 2014 issue of Marie Claire Australia. In the accompanying interview, the 23-year-old actress proves once again that she is one of the most level-headed and cool celebs in Hollywood.

Here are some excerpts from what Jennifer Lawrence told the mag:

On being Dior’s spokesmodel: “I actually said no at first. I thought, ‘I’m not a model. I’m not a spokesperson. I’m just an actor!’ But then [producer] Harvey Weinstein told me I was being an idiot. He said, ‘Just go to Paris and go to the fashion show.’ Once I was at the show, I felt like I had been baptised in fashion. I was just in love with his [Simons’s] clothes, so it would have been ridiculous to say no.”

Would she lose weight for Dior? “No, no, no! I just wouldn’t [diet],” she insists, with a volley of laughter. “I like the way I look, so if something has to get let out for me to wear it, it has to get let out.”

On Katniss’ toughness compared to herself: “I wouldn’t last two seconds in a fight. I definitely have more of a leader mindset than a follower mindset, but I’m not as courageous as she is. I don’t do as much good with it as she does.”

On celebrating her Oscar: “It was one of those things where no matter how great something is, when you are utterly exhausted, and
 I was sick, too, it just was [too much] … I tried to go to an after party, but it was absolutely miserable, and I walked right back out and went home and ordered a pizza.”

On making $27 million last year: “It means I’m rich, obviously,” she shrugs. “My dad helps me manage it and I still go over my credit card [limit] every month. It hasn’t changed the way I spend, but it’s nice to know that I can plan a future and be able to put my imaginary children through college.”

On the trials of fame: “I want to go out to a restaurant and just eat and be left alone. Thank you for loving my movies; I appreciate it so much, but the greatest thing you could do is let me eat and just go home. But I have to accept that I’m not going to make it through the meal without getting bothered and be OK with that.”

She’s still pretty normal: “I’m doing what a 23 year-old should be doing, which is going home and hanging out with my friend, who, when I tell her to unload the dishes, will tell me to go screw myself. I like to keep living in reality.”
