"I do my best," she answered when Diaz asked about how she protects her son. "I was so nervous when I was pregnant. I was getting paparazzi'd, and I was just like, 'How the f— am I not going to lose it on these guys when they're taking a picture of my baby?' "

"Then once he was here, I realized that my energy is more important to him than anything else," Lawrence explained. "So if he feels that I'm anxious before I leave the house, or I'm angry when we're outside, that's going to impact him."

"So it's actually done the opposite, where I've gotten a little bit more zen and a little bit more relaxed with getting photographed because I don't have a choice. You just have to accept it, take a deep breath and walk. I don't want him to inherit the anxiety and anger that I have," she concluded.
