EXCERPT:

AMANPOUR: “Clarify for us. Are you taking a year off? Are you taking a year out? There’s some chatter in this atmosphere that you’re retiring for a year. Is that true?”
LAWRENCE: “No, I won’t be on a set for a year. I still have a lot of things in development. That’s normal for actors to take — just probably not for me because I’ve been on two franchises. But I won’t be on set for a year. I still have projects in development. I’m going to be focusing mainly on an organization I’m a part of, Represent.Us. I will be traveling around just trying to get young people engaged politically on a local level.”
