I like suits that are fitted. And I usually stick to grays, whites, and blacks.
I like getting my feet massaged; I'll get whoever's closest to do it.
The first few years in L.A. were really tough and scary, but I had to figure things out for myself.
The hamburgers in America are the best in the world.
'The Hunger Games' takes place in Panem, a country which is part of America. It's post-apocalyptic. There's been a global war. The Panem country is what remains of this hugely destructive war.
I love watching my brothers raise their kids and not have to do it for myself and have the responsibility.
I love my brothers' kids. It's funny - as an uncle, you become so protective of them.
I love getting into physical shape for a film; it makes me feel more like what the character needs to be.
I’ve been friends with all these people for so many years now…. I’m so lucky to have Jennifer [Lawrence] and Josh [Hutcherson] and Woody [Harrelson] and all these other great people. We’ve created really strong bonds. It’s like high school because we’ll mess around for half the day and then we’ll do a little bit of work. Everyone’s goofing around and trying to mess each other up.
We shot in a place called Asheville, which is like beautiful, beautiful forests. And then part of it we shot all the reaping stuff, which was just crazy - because the reaping in the book and in the script is such an emotional thing for everyone. It really did feel like that when we were shooting it.
I go down to Newport and Huntington a lot. It's more crowded than where I grew up on Phillip Island, but I think it's helped me adjust to life in America - getting into the water as much as I can.
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.
There is this place in Nashville called Steak and Shake, which is pretty much the best food, ever. That is our secret, sexy place to go. When I look over at her when she's biting into a steak sandwich and there is some steak sauce dripping down her chin, there is nothing sexier.
