Dubbed as one of the most notable women in Hollywood today, Jennifer Lawrence has been seen as an inspiration among the female population worldwide. With her witty lines, good looks and incredible talent, the Hunger Games star has been pegged as one of the most widely sought-after actresses of her generation. It appears, however, that the lady who has everything still eyes some things to accomplish both in her personal life and professional journey.

Gracing the cover of various magazines before the official release of the final Hunger Games installment, Lawrence opened up on her dating woes and heartaches. The actress also gamely revealed her greatest fears in her professional life as well as her reaction to the hacking incident that saw her private photographs leaked online.

"I don't know if I ever will get married and I'm okay with that," shared Lawrence, referring to her current status as a single lady, according to Entertainment Weekly. The actress went on to share, "I don't feel that I need anything to complete me. I love meeting people, men, women, whatever, I love people coming into your life and bringing something. I don't really plan on getting married. I might. I definitely want to be a mother "

It could be recalled that Lawrence briefly dated Coldplay frontman Chris Martin this year. The relationship between the actress and the former husband of Gwyneth Paltrow made headlines despite the then couple's efforts to seek privacy. The two were then reported to date on and off until finally ending their romance months ago.

Before Martin, Lawrence had been in a relationship with fellow X-Men star Nicholas Hoult.

"I was also in a relationship with somebody for five years, and that was my life," disclosed Lawrence, referring to Hoult and their work in the X-Men. She added, "So my life was this person and these movies, and we broke up around the same time that I wrapped those movies. Being 24 was this whole year of, 'Who am I without these movies? Who am I without this man?'"

Meanwhile, another issue that made 2015 a challenging year for Lawrence was the release of her intimate photos. The start of the year saw many female celebrities suffer from a hacking incident that caused their private pictures to be uploaded online for all the world to see. While some ladies in Hollywood fell victim to the cyber attack, Lawrence had been one of the women whose photos gained the most media and public attention.

Lawrence said in an interview with Vogue that the attack on her privacy broke her down to tears. The actress recalled that her pet dog, named Pippi, comforted her when the news surfaced. She added that the incident pushed her to cry for hours, simply holding and seeking solace from the pooch. However, Lawrence decided to stop viewing herself as a victim and fought back by having the incident investigated.

As for her latest projects, Lawrence admitted that she is more comfortable in front of the camera than performing live onstage.

"It scares me," she shared, referring to the possibility of her entry into the world of Broadway. She added, "My fear comes from feeling like theater is vocal and physical, and the film is all eyes and subtlety. ThatI can do."
