I wish that the circuses that were around now felt like they did then. They're not quite as elegant or as magical as they used to be.

One of the big themes - if not the big theme - of 'Mockingjay - Part 1' is the battle of the airwaves. I don't think teenagers really understand the role propaganda has in our lives in terms of politics, advertising, and the general manipulation of imagery.

I love animals. Even if you go back to my music video days, I can't tell you how many animals I used.

When you're making a movie, you have those days that you really look forward to, and it's a little bit like Murphy's law. The days you look forward to become your hell days. The days you're dreading become these amazing days.
