One of the big things at the press conference was that people didn't want the accents to end up like 'Fargo,' which they felt were an exaggeration, ... We were all real conscientious of trying to get it right and the person in charge of getting the dialect right was amazing. We tried to be subtle.
With 'Hunger Games,' it's about people rising up to fight against a corrupt government that controls them.
Honestly, I felt incredibly welcome -- I thought that the whole area in the range opened up to us. I'm sure to some degree there were some people that weren't accepting of us, but at least they weren't showing it,
I think my best skill in this whole deal is as a conduit to try to bring people together, because I think it's in our unity that we'll have the greatest strength.
Sometimes I feel people think I live on a commune but I don't. We are all solar, though. There are no power lines. It's mostly farmers, so everyone who has tractors uses bio-diesel.
I do sometimes lecture people about what they're eating, but that's only if they ask me.
I love England, the people, the parks, the theatre.
I was a freshman in college in 1980, the year that Reagan was elected, and I went around badgering people to vote for him.

Some people make a great film and then they can't follow up.
It's not terrible, people telling you you're great; what's terrible is when you start believing it.
I don't believe in politics. I'm an anarchist, I guess you could say. I think people could be just fine looking after themselves.
I used to have terrible acne on my face: red, splotchy discoloration. And mucus - I was constantly blowing my nose. Then one day, this woman sits down next to me on a bus, and says, 'You're lactose-intolerant.' It all cleared up in three days. That changed my life. Doctors couldn't figure it out.
Me, I'll cut up and horse around right up until they say 'Action! But I loved seeing the preparation, the time she took. Before the cameras roll, in between setups, she is so present in the depth, in the feeling of what's going on with her character. And then, of course, you see the movie, and it's an amazing performance.
