Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence is Vogue’s chosen cover girl for their September 2013 issue, and the actress has plenty to say inside the issue about coping with her own fame. Jennifer says that she is still quite new to being famous and still hasn’t fully wrapped her head around the idea. She admits that she is “not ok with it” and doesn’t understand why she needs to be followed by the paparazzi:
“I am just not OK with it. It’s as simple as that. I am just a normal girl and a human being, and I haven’t been in this long enough to feel like this is my new normal. I’m not going to find peace with it. If I were just your average 23-year-old girl, and I called the police to say that there were strange men sleeping on my lawn and following me to Starbucks, they would leap into action. But because I am a famous person, well, sorry, ma’am, there’s nothing we can do. It makes no sense.”
Jennifer also reveals that she always had the idea that she would be famous. Although she admits she’ll probably be misquoted or that what she says will be misconstrued, she explains that she simply had a feeling she would become famous during her lifetime:
“I’ve never said this before because there is no way to say it without it being completely misunderstood… But I always knew” — here she lowers her voice — “that I was going to be famous.”
