2012 has been a very great year for Jennifer Lawrence, and we can't deny it. After all, it is on this year that The Hunger Games film (in which she plays the main protagonist, Katniss Everdeen) was welcomed around the world—and had been a blockbuster hit!

So to kick off Jennifer's 2013, she starts her year by gracing the cover of Marie Claire South Africa, in shining silver outfit with intricate details. The 22-year-old actress opens up about her body image, her resolutions for 2013, and her old lady state of mind.

On going out with friends: "I don’t like going out that much. I'm kind of an old lady. After it's 11, I'm like 'Don't these kids ever get tired?' When I'm out, I think about my couch."

On her body: "I'd rather look chubby on screen and like a person in real life."

On her New Year's Resolution: "My New Year's Resolution is to stand up for myself. It's hard for me. Nobody wants to be disliked. You always want to be polite and be nice. I tried to find a balance in saying what I mean and still being nice. I can't do it. I have this 'okay' attitude and everything. I end up allowing myself to get walked over and resenting it."
