I like that New York sensibility where you can be edgy, but still super-glamorous.

I've never been the wilting flower. I've never been the girl who's subservient to a man.

When I was a kid, I was into psychological thrillers. When I was 12, my favorite movie was 'Thirteen.' I just really liked movies that showed an extreme range in acting. That's what made me want to become an actress.

I'd like to stay in New York for a little while. My friend gave me the best advice. She said, "Don't succumb to L.A. Wait until you have nothing to lose." Her exact words were, "It will make mincemeat of your soul.".

I was like, 'Whoa, I'm auditioning for 'Hunger Games?'' That's like my dream come true. That's like a Trekkie auditioning for 'Star Trek.

A lot of hard work has to go into your career, and preparation, and being your best at all times.
