There are actresses who build themselves, and then there are actresses who are built by others. I want to build myself.

It's better to look strong and healthy.

I just don't like that you can either be ugly and smart or pretty and dumb, or ugly and nice or pretty and mean.

I’m a big believer in accepting yourself the way you are and not really worrying about it.

In Hollywood, I'm obese. I'm considered a fat actress. I eat like a caveman. I'll be the only actress that doesn't have anorexia rumors! I'm never going to starve myself for a part. I'm invincible. I don't want little girls to be like "Oh, I want to look like Katniss, so I'm going to skip dinner!"

I like when things are hard; I'm very competitive. If something seems difficult or impossible, it interests me.

And when I'm on set, I'm just thinking about the script and of working. I think I've stayed focused on the work so much that I haven't really noticed my life start to change except for I've gotten busier.
