Jennifer Lawrence works so much she says, 'I'm aging like a president'

When the subject of her insane work schedule came up at the press conference for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2" on Saturday, we got another gem from Lawrence.
"I try to keep working so people can see other characters and other things I can do instead of taking vacation time, and now I'm aging like a president," she said.
It might be overreaching a bit to compare the stress of being a movie star to having the launch codes, but it's hard not to be won over by Lawrence's brand of humor.
But honestly, since she kicked off the "The Hunger Games" franchise back in 2012, she has shown an incredibly diverse range.
Along with continuing to play Mystique in the "X-Men" franchise, she's also starred in two movies by acclaimed director David O. Russell (her performance in "Silver Linings Playbook" earned her a Best Actress Oscar).

In December she will star in her third Russell film, "Joy."
"I hate waking up without a goal or going to sleep without achieving nothing," she said.
In fact, her biggest accomplishment in her time playing Katniss Everdeen is that she will never be remembered just for that globally successful role. ("Mockingjay - Part 2," the final film in "The Hunger Games" franchise, opens November 20.)
And she's not slowing down. She's filming the sci-fi movie "Passengers," opposite Chris Pratt, "X-Men: Apocalypse" comes out next summer, and she's attached to Darren Aronofsky's untitled upcoming film.
