Lawrence claimed that Katniss, who was played by Jennifer Lawrence in the films, was "almost asexual." He attributed this to her introverted personality, calling her 'quiet' and'stoic.'

In an interview with Empire, he began by calling Lucy the "anti-Katniss." 'Katniss was an introvert and a survivor.' She was very quiet and stoic, and you could almost say [she was] asexual,' he told the magazine. Luciy Gray is the opposite,' he continued on.
