I had no idea 'The Hunger Games' was so big. I didn't even know the book. I had been living under my own rock.

It's interesting to be playing a father who's on the other side because that's not my world and not where I came from.

We've always just gotten up there and played. We don't have any dancers, we don't have all that stuff going on, we just get up there and play.

I wasn't the kind of person that liked waiting for autographs or following them, I just liked to go to the shows, study their records, driving many, many hours to different states to go to concerts.

I find cooking to be the one thing that relaxes me. I don't get to do it often . . .

My mom and dad would take me all over. One night we'd be at the Apollo watching James Brown, and then I'd be at the Joffrey Ballet. It was that kind of scene.

You never know where you're going to find a great actor.
