She won an Oscar at the age of 22 and is starring in a money-spinning franchise but actress Jennifer Lawrence says she likes to stay grounded and has an uneasy relationship with fame.
'The Hunger Games' star, who is counted among the most talented young stars in Hollywood, is equally popular for her outspoken and bubbly nature.
"I just constantly feel so lucky, that I don't really have time to feel cocky. I was raised to have value for money, to have respect for money, even though you have a lot of it," Lawrence told Fabulous magazine.
"That's why minibars are difficult, because it's like yes, I can afford a USD 6 Snickers bar, but there's just something wrong with that! I still drive my same car I've been driving for a long time and I haven't bought a house yet," she said.
Lawrence has remained unchanged through her meteoric rise to fame but says she feels sad when people perceive her differently.
"There is kind of a sadness that happens when you look into someone's eyes and you realize that they're looking at you a certain way, like you are not really you. I don't ever walk around feeling famous. I walk around feeling the exact same way I have walked around my entire life, but it's not until I talk to somebody and see in their eyes that I'm different. It makes me feel weird," she said.
