Jennifer Lawrence has described acting as 'stupid'.
The Oscar nominated star has had a fantastic 2012 but admits that she could never get cocky about what she does because it doesn't compare to those jobs that save lives.
Speaking to Vanity Fair the actress said: "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."
Lawrence cemented herself as an action heroine last summer with the role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games - a role that she will be reprising at the end of 2013.
However it is for her role in Silver Linings Playbook that she has been drowning under praise and she is set to be a major Oscar contender when the nominations are announced next week.
She is set to return to the blockbuster this year as filming on X-Men: Days of Future Past will get underway in the spring.
