Emma Stone Chats To Jennifer Lawrence About Fame, Anxiety, Friendship And Her Life Epiphany As She Enters Her Thirties

The Stone Age

Friendship, to Emma Stone, “is pretty much everything”. Which is why the star and executive producer of Netflix’s Maniac – and face of Louis Vuitton’s new fragrance – requested that she be interviewed by her longtime pal Jennifer Lawrence (who calls her by her real name, Emily). The two got together in New York to discuss her new project, living life in the public eye and turning the big 3-0. Come along as ELLE listens in…

Jennifer Lawrence: Okay, let’s get things started! Emily, you’re the best. Care to comment?

Emma Stone: Um, oh God. Uh, no comment.

JL: Next: you’re so pretty. How’d you get like that?

ES: [Laughs.] What’s the Bridesmaids line you always say?

JL: That you smell like pine cones and you look like Cinderella.

ES: She says that to me all the time. JL: Interviewing is very nerve-racking! I’m gonna start with my list. So, Emily, you and I have never talked about acting because we’re not douche lords. [ES laughs.] So now we should talk about acting.

ES: Okay.

JL: When you act, do you use your imagination? Do you use wounds from the past?

ES: That’s a good question!

JL: I know; I’m a great interviewer. [Both laugh.]

ES: Well, I tend to use a lot of stuff that has actually happened in my life, and I pull from feelings that came with certain experiences. Then it at least feels productive to have all these feelings [laughs], which is why I started acting in general. And I guess I use my imagination to an extent.

JL: So you can make yourself cry purely just from imagining something horrible? You’re that sensitive?

ES: Jen.

JL: I know you, but I have to ask for the people who don’t know you. Emily, are you sensitive?

ES: I am sensitive on a level that is problematic.
