Isabelle Furhman: I think because the souls of dark characters are so different than good characters. When someone does something bad, あなた kind of have to dig deeper to figure out what it is that made them want to do that thing. I just think it’s interesting to be able to understand someone who is so different from me.
17: How did あなた prepare to play Clove?
IF: I actually wrote a back story for her, like a biography. I had to stick to the book as much as I could because the book has such a huge ファン base and I’m such a huge ファン of the book as well. I wrote about where I thought she came from, her family and how she might know Cato and other people in the Games.
17: Are あなた Team Peeta または Team Gale?
IF: Team Katniss. I relate to her so much.
17: What was your お気に入り scene to shoot?
IF: The feast scene, when I attack Katniss. I got to do all my own stunts, so it was very cool to be able to put all of my training to the test. At the end of the day, Jennifer Lawrence and I were like, “Oh my God, I’m so tired!”
17: It sounds like your actual training was very similar to tribute training.
IF: It really was! We had to really be good at our own craft, so I did a ton of ナイフ throwing and combat.
17: Did あなた think about your face when あなた filmed fight scenes? Did あなた want to look cute?
IF: I probably look ridiculous, but that’s a good thing – I’m supposed to look crazed and rabid. I think that worked.
17: Did あなた keep any mementos from the set?
IF: I wish! Although, I did learn how to flip a バタフライ, 蝶 knife. But バタフライ, 蝶 knives are illegal in California, so I can’t exactly get one to practice.
17: What are あなた going to do to celebrate the movie coming out?
IF: Everyone in the cast is going to see it together. We'll surprise some ファン at the movie theater!
