So, Jen, what made you wanna answer 73 questions at a Williamsburg mini golf course?

And what have you done for the first time recently?

10 years from now, what will you regret doing way too much of?

If you could resurrect 1 person from history and put them in the world today, who would it be?

And when he came, I said, Bob, you really don't have to be here.

And he was like, thank you so much and left.

So what's the strangest thing a journalist has ever asked you in an interview?

Memory from shooting that still makes me laugh...

Well, 1 time I accidentally took an Ambien instead of my thyroid medication in the morning before the Hunger Games.

And speaking of Hunger Games, did anything intimidate you about your role in that first film?
