Jennifer Lawrence Talks Musical Taste

“The Hunger Games” is one of the biggest movies of the year, and it hasn’t even been released yet! And Jennifer Lawrence took questions from fans during a recent interview with MTV News.

The “Winter’s Bone” babe shared some of her favorite musical acts that are in heavy rotation on her iPod these days.

“I was just listening to Mumford & Sons on the way up here — love Mumford, the Black Keys, Jack White. I'm really looking forward to the musical part of the movie; T-Bone Burnett is producing it, and he's the best in the world, so I'm really looking forward to that.”

Jennifer also discussed finding balance in her character Katniss- “Let's see, I think everybody has vulnerability and strength. I think she's vulnerable anyway, like all of the tributes, because none of them really want to be there. They're chosen randomly, they're all forced into the arena. She gathers strength, she has to fight to survive. She's promised her sister that she would come back, so she replaces her vulnerability with strength.”

She noted that the fire on the chariots came from special effects, rather than actual flames. “Oh, that was fake. I wasn't actually on fire, thank God. ... I think they'll just add that later, hopefully.”
