.

Jennifer Lawrence continues her tradition of giving amazing quotes in interviews with a cover story for Vanity Fair’s February 2013 issue.

The 22-year-old, who is never afraid of a little self deprecation, described herself as “vastly uneducated,” and doesn’t have any pretenses about her career.

“Not to sound rude, but [acting] is stupid,” Lawrence told Vanity Fair. “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.’”

.

“Zero Dark Thirty” screenwriter Mark Boal did not receive classified documents from the Obama administration. That’s the word from Boal himself in a new interview with the ABC News show “Nightline.”

“I certainly did a lot of homework, but I never asked for classified material. To my knowledge I never received any,” Boal said in the interview, which is set to air on Monday night. “As far as the controversy goes — how can I put this? — it was an election year. It was real and bizarre to have major players in the Republican party characterizing the script and the movie before I had even written a word. I found that really baffling.”
