From the words of Jennifer Lawrence, it can be understood that the overnight success of The Hunger Games affected her. Additionally, she also won the Academy Award which made her feel like her every decision was big and must be dealt with care.

“I think I lost a sense of control. Between ‘The Hunger Games’ coming out and winning the Oscar, I became such a commodity that I felt like every decision was a big, big group decision. When I reflect now, I can’t think of those following years, [because there was] just a loss of control.”

Jennifer Lawrence further expressed that those years were tough for her. The Mother! actress also took a brief break from acting after Dark Phoenix. As she is now fully back with a series of movies, the actress feels delighted and “personal for the first time after a long time”.
