If you put the work in, and you show that you're willing to work hard, you'll succeed.

I've very fortunate to come from a great family who are extremely supportive of me and I'll always have them to fall back on.

I feel like anything I'm doing in life, I try to stay myself and be as honest and true as I can be, you know, and be a nice person. I've always been taught to be kind to people and have an open mind about life.

I also surround myself with good people who keep me and bring the best out of me. I don't generally hang out with crazy people.

At this point, I'm happy to be part of something special. As an actor I liked to choose scripts that I'm passionate about.

Gary Ross is amazing. He's just - he always has a billion ideas of what he wants, but has a very clear perspective also; he just makes it work. He really does. He's trying different things and making everything look amazing.

One of the biggest inspirations before I started shooting came from my brother, when he texted me and said, 'Hey, fatty, it's called 'The Hunger Games', not 'The Eating Games'. So I started working out a lot more and eating a lot less.
