The 21-year-old star of forthcoming movie `The Hunger Games` admits that while she loves to hit the gym, she does not enjoy depriving herself of food.
She said: "I hate saying, `I like exercising`. I want to punch people who say that in the face. "But it`s nice being in shape for a movie, because they basically do it all for you. It`s like, `Here`s your trainer. This is what you can eat`.
"I don`t diet. I do exercise! But I don`t diet. You can`t work when you`re hungry, you know?" The actress plays the lead role of Katniss Everdeen in the first instalment of `The Hunger Games` trilogy, and admits she is worried about the fame the role will undoubtedly bring.
She told Glamour magazine: "I feel like I got a ticket to go to another planet and I`m moving there and there`s no turning back, and I don`t know if I`m going to like that other planet or have friends there.
"It`s daunting. The people who used to ignore me at parties, now they`re nice to me and kissing my ass. But nobody`s staked outside of my house.
"I wanted to make sure that when I said yes [to the role], I wouldn`t regret it. And I don`t regret it. I would have said no because I was scared, and then I would have been that bitter actress telling my grandkids, `I`m the one that turned it down`."
