“I gave myself three days,” she explains about her decision-making process. “I knew from reading the books that I loved The Hunger Games. I just didn’t know if it was worth changing my life for.”

“I’m at a peaceful place right now. The people who used to ignore me at parties, now they’re nice to me and kissing my ass. But nobody’s staked outside my house. I wanted to make sure that when I said yes, I wouldn’t regret it. And I don’t regret it.

“Just recently I started letting myself eat things from the minibar. When we were kids, we would never open the minibar. A $6 Snickers bar?

Now I’m all grown-up. I can eat things from the minibar.”
