    Jennifer Lawrence sees herself as a "stay-at-home mom"

    The Die My Love actress - who has son Cy, three, and a second baby born last year with husband Cooke Maroney - admitted she is only truly busy during the hectic press tours for her movies, and for the rest of her time, she relishes a quiet life.


    Speaking on the Smartless podcast, she said: "That's me. I identify as a stay-at-home mom. But I am obviously working.

    "I'm not used to being busy like this. I normally have a busy like three months while I'm filming, but even in that sense, it's calm because there is nothing else to do.

    "I just go to work, I do that, I come home, I sleep, and then I do it again. And then, like, two weeks while you promote - it is hectic."

    However, the Hunger Games star admitted she won't do interviews after 9pm because she is ready for bed.

    She said: "Oh. I'm in bed. Kindle is lit until like 9:15. And then I don't even have, like, Kindle light on normally by 9:15."

    And over the Christmas period, Jennifer turned down an invite to a party because it started at 9pm and she had no desire to be hungover around her children.

    She said: "You can't be hungover with a nine month old. Even a three year old is just not an option."

    Elsewhere in the interview, the 35-year-old actress revealed she and Cooke have found the secret to keeping their marriage "alive".

    Jennifer told how she and Cooke are total "opposites", but she has learned to adapt since having children.

    She said: "I married somebody who is the opposite of me. He is so organised. He's an anchor.

    "Everything is ordered. I have to keep the closet doors closed, and I have my little jobs that I work really hard to do...

    "I get it now, I get it. [The kids are] on a very strict schedule. You know, it's like breakfast: 7:30.

    "He's good at keeping it. But we've learned, to keep our marriage alive, I have a 15 minute wiggle room."

    Jennifer cited having attention deficit disorder (ADD) as to why she struggles with tight timing.

    She said: "I think I should go to, like, occupational therapy for that."
