I’ll Be Quite Frank With You — I Didn’t Know About Hunger Games — So When I’m Telling Kids And They Say, ‘who Are You Playing?’ And I Say Cinna, They Go, ‘oh You’re Playing The Gay Guy.’ That Was An Actual Answer. I’ve Never Brought That Up Yet. That’s How They Perceived It. So I Thought About It, And I Read The Book And I Don’t See That He Is Or Isn’t [gay].
