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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ninety percent of my best friends back home are plumbers, electricians, builders, or landscapers. Most of our dads worked in trades.

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