“My first day on The Hunger Games I had a cold sore and I was sick and we were all supposed to be meeting in the training area,” Jena told the A.V. Club. “I was so sick and I was supposed to be strong and intimidating and I felt bad because I was so stressed out. I was like, ‘Oh my God, everyone is going to hate me.’”

She continued, “But I started going up there and wielding my ax and all the crew guys were stepping away. I was like, “Okay, this is going to be good.” If I can intimidate the crew, I can intimidate the actors.”
