IN TEARS
She was then asked about the reaction of fans to the movie:
It surprises me. I remember being on the first movie, and when you’re an actor you don’t ever think – or I hope that you don’t – I don’t – ever think like, “My job is very important. What I do is very important for the world and for people.” You know, I just love doing it. And I remember being on the first movie and there was a girl who was an {tip text=" figurante " title=" extra "} extra {/tip}, and she was covered in {tip text=" cicatrizes " title=" scars "} scars {/tip}, {tip text=" ela tinha sofrido queimaduras " title=" she had been burned "} she had been burned {/tip}. And I remember her coming up to me and saying that she was too {tip text=" envergonhada, constrangida " title=" self-conscious]} self-conscious {/tip} to go to school when she was younger. And then, when she read The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, she felt proud of her scars and her friends called her “the girl on fire,” and I remember just crying and calling my mom, and then sometimes just the lives that you can touch, {tip text=" sem nem ter intenção " title=" without even meaning to "} without even meaning to {/tip}. So I don’t really have any plans. Sometimes it comes up and bites me in the ass and it’s great, and I like doing it that way.
The success of The Hunger Games books and movies is such that they are now something of a “franchise.” Was Jennifer Lawrence surprised by this?

Yes and no, the reason that I signed on to Hunger Games (was) ‘cause I knew that that was... we had already had Harry Potter and we already had Twilight, so we were obviously surprised by the success. I was... how could we not be? But we did know what to expect {tip text=" em certa medida " title=" to a certain extent "} to a certain extent {/tip}. And if I was going to be identified for a character for the rest of my life, that’s a hard thing to think about, but I love this character and I’m proud of her and I would be proud to be associated with this movie and this character for the rest of my life. Sometimes, when you find a really great character, it’s better than vacation, {tip text=" contanto que a comida seja boa " title=" as long as the catering’s good!
