“I dropped out of middle school,” – Lawrence told Bill Whitaker. “I don’t technically have a GED or a diploma. I am self-educated.”

Asked whether she regrets making that decision, the Red Sparrow star said that she doesn’t.

“I wanted to forge my own path. I found what I wanted to do and I didn’t want anything getting in the way of it,” – she added. “Even friends, for many years, were not as important to me as my career, I mean, from the age of 14.”
