The audiences seem to be reacting to that really well and it's a wonderful thing, because at a performance you really bounce off your audience.

I think 'The Hunger Games' has a really powerful message about survival, and sacrificing for the ones you love. It's almost like a warning for us to not lose touch of our humanity. We live in a world in which we watch other's misfortunes for entertainment.
Your longing for ME is my message to you, All your attempts to reach ME, Are in reality MY attempts to reach you.
