Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence commiserates about her love life in a pair of interviews ahead of her two upcoming movies.
"No one ever asks me out," the star of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay -- Part 2," opening Nov. 20, and "Joy," opening Christmas Day, told Vogue magazine in the cover story of its December issue. "I am lonely every Saturday night. Guys are so mean to me. I know where it's coming from, I know they're trying to establish dominance, but it hurts my feelings. I'm just a girl who wants you to be nice to me. I am straight as an arrow. I feel like I need to meet a guy, with all due respect, who has been living in Baghdad for five years who has no idea who I am."
She most recently dated Coldplay frontman Chris Martin after having been with actor Nicholas Hoult through much of her time making the "Hunger Games" and "X-Men" franchises. Lawrence, 25, explained to ABC News' Diane Sawyer in an interview that aired on "Nightline" early Friday morning that she had been "in a relationship with somebody for five years and," she noted that "we broke up around the same time that I wrapped those movies." She then spent a year, she said, asking herself, " 'Who am I without these movies? Who am I without this man?' It was always 'we.' It sounds so young to say that but it's true."
She added, "I don't really plan on getting married. I might. I definitely want to be a mother. I don't really imagine getting married anymore. I don't feel like I need anything to complete me."
On another matter, she told Vogue that fellow Kentuckian Kim Davis, the Rowan County clerk who refused to grant same-sex couples marriage licenses due to her religious beliefs, "makes me embarrassed to be from Kentucky." Lawrence went on describe "all those people holding their crucifixes, which may as well be pitchforks, thinking they're fighting the good fight. I grew up in Kentucky. I know how they are."
She noted, "I was raised a Republican, but I just can't imagine supporting a party that doesn't support women's basic rights. It's 2015 and gay people can get married and we think that we've come so far, so, yay! But have we? I don't want to stay quiet about that stuff."
On another note, Lawrence, who lamented her downtime between projects, said in the Vogue interview that she's found a way to pass the time at her famous neighbors' house.
"Downtime is normally the bane of my existence. It makes me depressed, not relaxed. But I was actually enjoying myself this time," she said. "I've got a bunch of friends who live really close, thank God. And I've made friends with Mila and Ashton, two doors down. They're awesome. I go over there uninvited. They're probably getting pretty sick of me."
