I play Peeta. That’s his name. It was given to him by his parents. He comes from a long line of bread. His sister is Rye. And his brother is Whole Wheat.
You have to maintain who you are as a person and stay true to yourself – that’s my biggest moral as a human being, as well as a very self-deprecating sense of humor.
I’m all about flannels and layers, so that’s pretty much what I rock.
Well, getting behind the camera is something I’ve always wanted to get involved with. Ever since I was doing movies like ‘Zathura’ I was very interested in all the different jobs on set and kind of soaking all the information up like a sponge.
At times when you’re adapting a book into a movie, you have to take certain creative liberties to bridge the gap between the two forms of media.
The girls I’ve dated hate me a little because I can’t remember anything about first dates or when we kissed. I have the worst memory in the world!
Being a heart throb would be crazy.
I’ve always been a big supporter of equal rights and encouraging people to be who they are.
I actually got really good at unicycling.
With every single role, you’re not going to get a role unless you invest your whole heart into it.
Ever since I first started acting I’ve wanted to have a long career.
There’s definitely a large fan base for the ‘Twilight’ and ‘Harry Potter’ movies that need their next fix.
There are a lot of characters that you can get into that don’t exist in the studio world.
Whether it happens over 10 years, like with a lot of people, or with one hit movie that thrusts you into that world, when you become successful as an actor, you become well known. In the end game, that’s just part of the business.
At the end of the day, regardless of whether you’re doing a huge budget film or a small budget film, you still want the film to do well, and have people see it. That’s the whole point. You want to put some kind of message into your films, and you want people to see it.
When you have love in a story, it gives you the freedom to really take the characters to very interesting places.
I love doing roles and movies that are different from each other. That’s kind of why I like to be an actor because I get to play different characters and pretend I’m different people going through different situations.
I base the roles I choose depending on the characters. That’s just how I’m gonna run my career. So if it’s a good role I’m gonna take it whether it be fantasy, or whether it be realistic or fiction, anything.
As far as what I’m afraid of, I hate spiders. I’m pretty good at being not afraid of almost anything, except for spiders.
Overall, vampires are a much more refined people; vampinese are much more barbarian and monstrous.
I’m always open to not necessarily to do leading roles because I want to do roles that are the best, character role. And sometimes, it’s not going to be a leading role. It’s going to be a smaller, supporting role. So really, I’m open to doing anything.
