![“Not to sound rude, but [acting] is stupid. Everybody’s like, ‘How can you remain with a level head?’ And I’m like, ‘Why would I ever get cocky? I’m not saving anybody’s life. There are doctors who save lives and firemen who run into burning buildings. I’m making movies. It’s stupid.’” quote by Jennifer Lawrence](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/43d/jennifer-lawrence-1354_acting_not-to-sound-rude-but-acting-is-stupid-e_1385240.jpg)
