A Tricky Thing

Jennifer Lawrence recently spoke with Parade magazine to promote her new film, The Hunger Games. The young star spoke about her character, filming, and more. Highlights can be found below.

On the popularity behind Katniss: “I love Katniss. She doesn’t have a lot, but she’s happy, and she faces death out of love for her family. She doesn’t want to be a hero, but she becomes the symbol for a revolution, a kind of futuristic Joan of Arc.”

On prepping for the part: “There was running training, stunt training, combat training, archery. It was all really fun but filming in North Carolina in 100-degree heat and 100-percent humidity in cargo pants and leather boots and a jacket was tricky. The whole crew bonded over the heat and the bugs. And I conquered my fear of spiders.”

On being nervous about opening day: “I’m always nervous. I always think this is going to be the end of my career. I’m going to have to go back to school and nobody’s ever going to want to see me again.”

Pretty sure Jennifer will not be returning back to school after this film opens.
