  • My favorite actors are Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith - guys like that.

  • Most of the time, if I'm in a pickle, I'll call one of my brothers. They've usually got somewhat uplifting advice. One is six and a half years older and one is eight years older, so they've probably lived through whatever my problem is.

  • As the younger brother, I think you always have crushes on your older brother's girlfriends.

  • I love my brothers' kids. It's funny - as an uncle, you become so protective of them.

  • Ninety percent of my best friends back home are plumbers, electricians, builders, or landscapers. Most of our dads worked in trades.

  • I grew up close to Melbourne, about two hours outside, on Phillip Island. It's really small; it's kind of a little summer beach town.

  • How comedic are squirrels? We don't have squirrels in Australia. The first time I saw a squirrel was at a meeting at Disney.

  • I played a paraplegic on a show called 'Neighbours.' Just turned up on set, sat in a wheelchair. The producer came up to me one day and said, 'We have to cut around that entire scene because your leg was moving.'

  • I love going to the gym, sweating, running around, feeling like I'm having a heart attack.

  • Acting is a tough business to break into.

  • I used to wear my brothers' hand-me-downs, which were all too big on me.

  • I surfed competitively from age 13 to 18. Every day, before and after school. I wanted to surf for the rest of my life. It's what all my friends did - I even had it as a subject in school for a number of years.

  • Honestly, I really, really love making movies. It's so much fun, and I love losing myself in the moment and just being there with other actors. When you're truly in the moment and you're feeding each other, it's such an exciting thing to be a part of.

  • My character's kind of grown up with Katniss. The beginning of the story, they're more or less brother and sister than anything. They're best friends. They've been keeping each other alive. It's a little frustrating, for the character. As the character, not as me.

  • The hamburgers in America are the best in the world.

  • If I was to get turned down by a girl, I'd just give up and say, 'Oh well.'

  • The first few years in L.A. were really tough and scary, but I had to figure things out for myself.

  • Growing up, I lived a moderate lifestyle with my family.

  • Sushi is my favorite thing to do in L.A.

  • My uncles used to call me 'Devil Child,' or 'Triple' for triple six. They used to tell my brother Chris that they were going to get the demons out of him because he was also a little crazy. But to me, they'd just be like, 'You're too far gone. There's no exorcising you anymore.'

  • I don't spend a lot of money on myself, really.

  • Personally, when I'm not working, I like to do as many things outside of the industry as I can - other things that make me happy. You kind of need to be grounded in something else besides just being an actor.

  • My dad worked for child protection.

  • I feel like the books were just written like a movie. You read it and you can just kind of see everything. Before I went in to read with the director, I read the first book and I loved it. I didn't realize how good the writing was. And then I went in and read with Gary Ross, and that was it.

  • I hate that there'll be moments in my day and I'll be patting down my legs trying to find my phone. I hate how anxious it makes me feel when I don't have it. When I go on holiday, or I go back to Australia, I put my phone in my bag and I don't worry about it; I think differently and I feel less stressed.

  • I like suits that are fitted. And I usually stick to grays, whites, and blacks.

  • The people that live in these districts, they don't want to watch it. They don't want to see their children die or killing other people. The only people that it is entertainment to are the people in the capital that have been brainwashed and are misguided and living in a completely unrealistic kind of world.

  • I love watching my brothers raise their kids and not have to do it for myself and have the responsibility.

  • All women think men look good in suits. To be honest, I like the way they look, too.

  • I love fried food.

  • I love junk food.

  • There is this place in Nashville called Steak and Shake, which is pretty much the best food, ever. That is our secret, sexy place to go. When I look over at her when she's biting into a steak sandwich and there is some steak sauce dripping down her chin, there is nothing sexier.

  • I'm pretty outdoorsy. My family used to live in the hills in the middle of nowhere pretty much. We literally used to have bow and arrows and air rifles and were throwing knives.

  • Well, I have chlamydia. Thanks for this, Mom. Good class.

  • One of the biggest inspirations before I started shooting came from my brother, when he texted me and said, 'Hey, fatty, it's called 'The Hunger Games', not 'The Eating Games'. So I started working out a lot more and eating a lot less.

  • I feel like anything I'm doing in life, I try to stay myself and be as honest and true as I can be, you know, and be a nice person. I've always been taught to be kind to people and have an open mind about life.

  • I don't consider myself a heartthrob in any way. I'm just pinching myself. I'm truly fortunate to be a part of this whole process.

  • I think when people see photos of you out and about in your personal life, they assume that you've asked for it or that you want that attention, but I don't think anyone in their right mind asks for that kind of thing.

  • We all make mistakes, and it's not until we make mistakes that we learn.

  • As the younger brother, I think you always have crushes on your older brothers girlfriends.

  • We love making movies. We got into the business to make movies. At the end of the day, whether you're doing a low budget film or a big budget film, you want it to do well and you want people to see it. That's the whole point. You want to put some kind of message in it.

  • I don't generally hang out with crazy people.

  • Mel's Diner in L.A. - they are my favorite hamburgers. I could eat there every day. They are ridiculous.

  • We shot in a place called Asheville, which is like beautiful, beautiful forests. And then part of it we shot all the reaping stuff, which was just crazy - because the reaping in the book and in the script is such an emotional thing for everyone. It really did feel like that when we were shooting it.

  • Honestly, I'm not an extravagant person; I don't spend a lot of money.

  • If we get to shoot the third one, which I'm really hoping we do, the third one's great. There's a big uprising and rebellion, and my character Gale's a big part of that. If we get to shoot that, I'll be very, very pleased.

  • The Hunger Games' takes place in Panem, a country which is part of America. It's post-apocalyptic. There's been a global war. The Panem country is what remains of this hugely destructive war.

  • I'd love to do action-y types of films; you know, as long as they're good stories.

  • I think a lot of stuff like people's emails getting hacked or that an email you sent is stored on a hard drive somewhere, that kind of stuff worries me a little bit. It's a weird thought that someone else could get into my information that easily. That stuff's pretty scary.

  • Harrison Ford comes on set, and he's very polite and says, 'Hello' to everyone. He cares about everything that's going on, on set. He cares about what's going on with your character and what's in the scene and what's on the desk.

  • At this point, I'm happy to be part of something special. As an actor I liked to choose scripts that I'm passionate about.

  • When I'm boxing, if my career isn't going well, at least I feel mentally and physically strong.

  • I also surround myself with good people who keep me and bring the best out of me. I don't generally hang out with crazy people.

  • I learn more with every job and I'm thankful for where I am

  • I think a good thing to always remember is to just keep your head on straight and don't lose your feet.
