I loved making 'The Hunger Games' - it was the happiest experience of my professional life. Lionsgate was supportive of me in a manner that few directors ever experience in a franchise: they empowered me to make the film I wanted to make and backed the movie in a way that requires no explanation beyond the remarkable results. ↗

I think movies do play a valuable role in turning people on to the act of reading. I think that phenomenon just creates readers. At first they're going to love 'Harry Potter,' or they may love 'The Hunger Games,' but after that, they're going to love the act of reading and wonder, 'What else can I read?' ↗

I find it extraordinary that this purpose which drove how we viewed the world is now considered to be something that has no effect upon us. ↗

I wasn't going to make a slick, glossy over-produced piece of entertainment because then I would be doing what the Capitol did. Then I'm actually putting on the Hunger Games and not making a movie of the 'Hunger Games.' ↗

I've been asked to do action-oriented movies in the past and they just haven't been right for me. ↗

A movie that gets a PG-13 rating can show someone running down a street killing 27 people. And there are no repercussions. ↗
