Jena
On becoming Johanan:
"I know they saw every single actress from here till Tuesday. They wanted to find someone who didn't just physicalize this character but could also scare people. I don't know what I did - I guess I scared the hell out of them."

On her style off the set:
"When I was 18, I shaved my head. I was bald. Then I had a mohawk- for a job that fell through."

Sam
On auditioning for Finnick:
"Finnick is supposed to be this godlike creature. I remember sitting in the audition room and this kid walked in. He was seriously one of the mosthandsome men I've ever seen. And I was just, nah, this is never going to happen."

On dieting for the role:
"I had chicken and asparagus every day for three months. My girlfriend was quite happy."
