I think the brutality is important to convey as part of the story, to see how brutal it is to have these kids in battle with one another.

For me, in the third book, when Peeta gets brainwashed by the Capitol, that's going to be fun to play. The rest of the time he's very much into Katniss, and for that to get turned around and to play it the other way, that's going to be very exciting.

'The Hunger Games' for me is I love the books so much and the character and the story were incredible. That's kind of the game plan is just do really interesting stories with interesting characters.

I think the brutality is important to convey as part of the story, to see how brutal it is to have these kids in battle with one another.

But I think what Liam said just kind of hit it spot on, that the people in the capital are brainwashed and such a disconnect with what's actually happening. They don't realize what if it was their kids that were being put into the games? They just don't have the mindset to have that kind of compassion for people.

I never really read a character before that I connected with more than Peeta. So, for me, if I couldn't get that job I was like, 'Well, if I can't play practically myself in a movie, what can I play?'

They're still working on the script - they've got to get that nailed down and they want the first movie to come out obviously, not get too ahead of themselves. But yeah, it's looking good. I love the second book a lot as well, so kind of diving into that is awesome.

I like both athletic girls and girly girls. It depends on their personality. I like girls who can go out and play sports with me and throw the football around, but you don't want a girl who's too much tougher than you. I like brainy girls who can respond to what I'm saying.

I'm persistent.

Luckily, no one I've ever been in love with has needed me to save their life!

I've been in love before, every love-relationship is tough and it has its challenges.

I got my first tattoo when I was 16 years old and I went with my mom to get it done - she has a bunch too so we're tattoo buddies now.

Auditioning is always so different for different things.

For me, I love auditioning.

In all honesty I think that I've had a very normal life, even though I've been making movies since I was 9.

Ever since I first started acting I've wanted to have a long career.

As an actor, you're always playing different people, so you yourself are always kind of going through an identity crisis.

I've been on projects before where there's no rehearsal, and you walk in on set and that's literally the first time you've ever played the character, and then I've had times where there's been three weeks of rehearsal. I like both.

I know my life is full of awkward pauses, and I think it's hilarious.

It's cool to play a vampire and be a part of this new, hot genre.

I love dogs.

I love doing roles and movies that are different from each other.

My main source of reading is scripts, which doesn't leave a whole lot of room for books.

I love the fan support, though, because it all comes from passion.

I'm not a big TV guy, though.

I play sports.

I play basketball probably four to five days a week when I'm back home.

Well, food's always the way to anybody's heart, I think, guy or girl.

I've been the type of guy, I've always been very forthcoming with how I feel. And that it doesn't make you less of a man to like go and be like, 'This is how I feel about you. This is the truth.'

I still get a little nervous when talking to girls. Which is awful, and embarrassing, because I feel like I shouldn't.

I was very fortunate and didn't personally encounter any bullies in school, however bullies exist in many ways in life.
