“I will never get Twitter,” Jennifer Lawrence said. “I’m not very good on phone or technology. I cannot really keep up with emails so the idea of Twitter is so unthinkable to me.”
“I don’t really understand what it is,” she went on. “It’s like this weird enigma that people talk about.”
“It’s fine, I respect that, but no, I’ll never get a Twitter,” Jennifer Lawrence continued. “If you ever see a Facebook, Instagram or Twitter that says it’s me, it most certainly is not.”

The show’s host pointed out how series Jennifer Lawrence was when she answered the question. “I had that one locked and loaded,” she said with a laugh. “I really like laser focused [on that answer]…it’s because the Internet has scorned me so much that I feel like it’s that girl in high school that I’m like, ‘Oh you want to talk about her? Yeah I’ll do that!’ Take my hoops off, I’m ready to go.”

“The law needs to be changed, and we need to change,” she added. “That’s why these websites are responsible. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody’s mind is to make a profit from it. It’s so beyond me. I just can’t imagine being that detached from humanity. I can’t imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside.”
Fortunately, “Time does heal, you know,” she went on. “I’m not crying about it anymore. I can’t be angry anymore. I can’t have my happiness rest on these people being caught, because they might not be. I need to just find my own peace.”
Jennifer Lawrence is currently on tour promoting the new Hunger Games movie, Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. She revealed in a recent interview how she feels when she sees herself on the big screen. “I really do like love the movies after I watch them. Because the whole time I’m watching them, all I’m thinking about is what a troll and how untalented and awful I am.” She adds, “If I wasn’t in them I would love these movies. I’m the worst part of the whole franchise.”
