In a new clip from next month’s release of The Hunger Games on DVD/Blu-ray, lead actress Jennifer Lawrence reveals how her mom is largely responsible for getting her the role of Katniss.

She says in the clip found on EW:

“I had only done indies. And I was fine doing indies for the rest of my life and then just moving to directing and never really being in the limelight that much. I knew [The Hunger Games] was going to be huge, and that was scary. And then my mom told me I was being a hypocrite, because whenever people asked me why I was doing indies and not studios, I said because it doesn’t matter the size of the movie, it matters about the script. And she said, ‘This is a script you love and you’re thinking of not doing it because of the size of it. You’re a hypocrite.’ So I said yes, and I’m so happy that I did.”

The Hunger Games DVD/Blu-ray will be released August 18. See the special features.
