Jan. 1, 2013— -- intro: You're not alone if you're starting out the new year with new resolutions.

The stars are sharing their resolutions for 2013 -- some serious, some tongue-in-cheek.

Jennifer Lawrence told the South African edition of Marie Claire that her New Year's resolution is to "stand up for myself."

"It's hard for me," said the actress who played "The Hunger Games" heroine Katniss Everdeen. "Nobody wants to be disliked. You always want to be polite and be nice."

"I tried to find a balance in saying what I mean and still being nice," Lawrence said. "I can't do it. I have this 'okay' attitude and everything. I end up allowing myself to get walked over and resenting it."
