Jennifer Lawrence explained that she typically avoids memorizing her lines, mainly out of a combination of laziness and a desire to alleviate boredom. She mentioned that after returning home, her preference is to watch television before bedtime rather than diving into the script. 

Lawrence told Adam Sandler:

“I don’t really every memorize either, mostly just out of laziness and boredom. When I come home, I wanna watch TV before I go to bed. I don’t want to read the script. Normally hair and makeup is like two hours where I can’t go anywhere, so I just use that to memorize. But for Mother I didn’t really have a choice because we did a three months rehersal process in a warehouse in Brooklyn. And the dialogue didn’t really change much so I ended up memorizing it.”

During her extended hair and makeup sessions, which often consume around two hours, she utilizes that time to commit her lines to memory.
