She went on to explain the reason why she would rather work in film but not in theater. “The more I rehearse something, the more I get upset. I would be like, ‘Oh let’s just try something new,’” she said.

Jennifer also talked about her experience throughout her career, including her personal growth after being catapulted to fame following the success of ‘The Hunger Games’ franchise. “I feel like becoming less of a commodity has actually given me a lot more freedom to make what I want to make.”
