Part 3/9:
Lawrence voiced concerns about speaking out in the current climate, where political discourse has become highly divisive. She emphasized her desire to preserve her craft and the integrity of her art, fearing that partisan comments could alienate audiences or overshadow her work. Her focus shifted to protecting the art itself—a medium she believes can inspire and educate, regardless of political leanings.
"I want to protect my craft so that people can still get lost in what I do," she explained. She expressed apprehension about being perceived solely through her political stance, fearing that such opinions might muddy the waters and diminish her ability to connect with audiences on a deeper level.
