Lawrence was recently named 2015 Entertainer of the Year by Entertainment Weekly. In an interview with EW, she talked about the importance of keeping a small circle of "real" friends.  "None of my friends bulls**t me," Lawrence said. "Everything in my life has to be real." Gaining her trust isn't easy. "I have a very small circle," she said. "The moment I feel like someone is using me or is in it for the wrong reasons, I have zero guilt about just cutting them the f**k out of my life." This small yet enviable group includes others in the entertainment industry working at the top of their field, whether acting, comedy, or music.
