Nobody roots for people who presume success. You have to earn success, and success is earned by making a movie that audiences like and want to see more of.

The most powerful decision-making part of the audience is women. Boys have a lot of impact on the industry, but it's often women who impact what stories get made.

You're not doing the scene exactly the way it is in the book [The Hunger Games], but the intention of the scene is there.

I think that one of the greatest perspectives that I have, from being a buyer for my whole career until I became a producer, is that I have a pretty good understanding of the buyers mentality.

Little decisions were made, every day. In this movie [The Hunger Games], we really focused on Cinna and we didn't get time to focus on the other stylist.

I never had to put myself in somebody else's shoes.

It's an exciting time, when you can make your movie on a cellphone. If it's good, it WILL get noticed.
