The actress who plays Katniss in The Hunger Games has been busy making the press rounds. The latest interview comes from The Wall Street Journal. She discusses if the decision to the take the role was a difficult one.

From the article:

Q: When you were offered the “Hunger Games” lead, did you feel like you were facing a fork in the road?

A: I got a taste of fame from the Oscars and I didn’t like it. That’s a terrible thing to say because it’s such a tremendous honor. But I went from being normal Jennifer to being at these parties where I couldn’t just be the girl making dumb jokes in the corner. Everybody’s treating me differently and talking to me differently and I know that they’re lying and that they’re sucking up to me. It was a very bizarre time to be presented [with a part] that could make me arguably the most famous person my age a year from now. I remember sitting in a coffee shop in London thinking, if I say yes to this job, next year at this time people will be here taking pictures of me with their phones. And I couldn’t find a bright side in it. But I didn’t want to say no to a script that I loved because I was scared.
