33. Jennifer Lawrence on Backlash to Her Meryl Streep Comment
On backlash to her Meryl Streep comment: “It’s never a good idea for me to wing it. But yeah, it was a quote from [The] First Wives Club. Bette Midler was talking about a Globe. [...] She says, ‘Look what it says. It says, “I beat Meryl.”’ And it was so perfect, and I said it, and I had no idea Lindsay Lohan would take it to the Twitterverse. Is that what they call it? [...] And all of a sudden, I hate Meryl Streep. [...] I wanted to make a public statement, like, ‘Hey, idiots. Uh, it was a quote from a movie, and it’s Meryl Streep.’” (The Late Show With David Letterman)
