"Jennifer Lawrence&amp;apos;s candid interviews have earned her more than a few fans, famous and not, who say her unfiltered sense of humor and laid-back personality are a refreshing change from the Hollywood norm. But the actress insists that her seemingly carefree demeanor is actually the opposite, and that she&amp;apos;s a ball of nerves whenever she&amp;apos;s the center of attention at an awards ceremony or movie premiere. The only place she feels she&amp;apos;s really herself, she says, is when she&amp;apos;s playing someone else.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m afraid I&amp;apos;m going to go my whole life being scared like a chihuahua,&amp;quot; she admits in the new issue of the U.K.&amp;apos;s Fabulous magazine. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s not my comfort zone. Making movies is where I belong. I shouldn&amp;apos;t be heard just talking. So, when I&amp;apos;m doing movies, I&amp;apos;m really happy. That&amp;apos;s where I&amp;apos;m comfortable, that&amp;apos;s my home. When you put me on a red carpet or on a stage, I turn into chihuahua Jennifer.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;Chihuahua Jennifer&amp;quot; is apparently a talker. &amp;quot;I have no control over what comes out of my mouth,&amp;quot; the Silver Linings Playbook star says of the candor everyone loves so much. &amp;quot;I would probably turn into a mute if I read what I said.&amp;quot;\r\nVIDEO: Watch Jennifer trip at the Oscars\r\nThat delicate balance of unguardedness and self-awareness is part of what keeps the 22-year-old Oscar winner -- who split from British actor Nicholas Hoult in January -- grounded. The other part is her family and non-famous friends. &amp;quot;Definitely my family is not the kind of family that would ever let me turn into an a--hole or anything like that, so I am fortunate to have them,&amp;quot; she tells Fabulous.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t ever walk around feeling famous, I walk around feeling the exact same way I have walked around my entire life, but it&amp;apos;s not until I talk to somebody and see in their eyes that I&amp;apos;m different. It makes me feel weird,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;A lot of things that I didn&amp;apos;t even think could ever be possible for me have happened, all in a year. It&amp;apos;s been overwhelming, but in a wonderful way.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
