[On her favorite scene from The Hunger Games]: The first time that Katniss has to go into the cylinder and she goes up into the arena and looks around and sees it for the first time, knowing that when that trumpet blows she could die. The thing that’s great about her is she’s not a murderer. She’s a hunter, but she’s not a killer. I told Gary [Ross, the director], “I totally understand if you don’t hire me, but please remember that after Katniss shoots a bow and kills someone her face cannot be badass. It has to be broken.“ She has to be heartbroken because she just took another person’s life. It’s so tempting, especially with a cool, big budget franchise movie, but we have to remember that she’s a 16-year-old girl who’s being forced to do this. These kids are only killing each other because if they don’t, they’ll die. It’s needless, pointless, unjustified violence. So there’s nothing cool about her. It’s not like she looks around the arena and goes “Yeah, I got this, I’m going to do this.” I think she looks around terrified and thinks, “Well there are all the million different ways that I can die.”
