I love doing roles and movies that are different from each other. That's kind of why I like to be an actor because I get to play different characters and pretend I'm different people going through different situations.

When you have love in a story, it gives you the freedom to really take the characters to very interesting places.

For me, in the third book, when Peeta gets brainwashed by the Capitol, that's going to be fun to play. The rest of the time he's very much into Katniss, and for that to get turned around and to play it the other way, that's going to be very exciting.

As far as what I'm afraid of, I hate spiders. I'm pretty good at being not afraid of almost anything, except for spiders.

I think the brutality is important to convey as part of the story, to see how brutal it is to have these kids in battle with one another.

You have to maintain who you are as a person and stay true to yourself - that's my biggest moral as a human being, as well as a very self-deprecating sense of humor.

I didn't go to high school, so I don't have a high school experience. I was home-schooled during high school.
