“She has this quality I don’t think I’ve ever seen before, a ferocious intelligence that is odd to see in a woman 21 years old. David O. Russell and I used to talk about how it seems like she’s 40 and 10 at the same time. We would be discussing a scene, and she would seem to be like doing cartwheels in the corner, and then all of a sudden she’d turn and say, ‘You know, it’d probably be better if you put the camera there, and start it there.’ No matter how stressed we could get or feel like the mountain is gonna be incapable of being climbed, you look at her and she sort of winks at you and says, ‘Everything’s gonna be OK.’ There’s just this sense of wisdom. Basically what I’m trying to say is I don’t think she’s real.” - Bradley Cooper on Jennifer Lawrence
