Some context:
"Even though she was nominated for an Academy Award last year, the name Jennifer Lawrence likely elicits a "who?" when mentioned. But come March 23, when "The Hunger Games" hit theaters, the world will definitely know her name and her face — and that's what has her slightly worried. "I knew from reading the books that I loved 'The Hunger Games,'" the 21-year-old actress tells Glamour in its April issue. "I just didn't know if it was worth changing my life for. I'm at a peaceful place right now. The people who used to ignore me at parties, now they're nice to me and kissing my ass. But nobody's staked outside my house. I wanted to make sure that when I said yes, 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.""

Yes

but think she should continue with other kinds of film. This could also give her the kind of cushion that she could do all the indie film she wants which she's great at.

I guess. I'm not her and don't have her life, so how the hell would I know?

That's like Daniel Radclif saying Harry Potter wasn't the right decision.

Well, she already decided to do it, there's no point in backing out or anything. She already made the decision so she should stick by it & take everything people throw at her, negative or positive, with her head held high

I don't care how she feels, as long as she doesn't screw up the movie I've been waiting for. For like, 9 months.

Well, how did she change her life for it? If this girl wants to make it in Hollywood she's going to have to "change her life" a little. All stars have to do this for a role at some point.....

And from what I've heard so far, this girl is one ungrateful little brat. I already despise her more than Kristen Stewart. She just keeps downing this movie over and over, her lack of confidence is tiring.

If you aren't sure about a decision you made, it was wrong decesion to make.

I have to answer along those lines because THERE ARE NO OTHER ANSWER CHOICES TO CHOOSE FROM.

How about her life is her life to do with as she pleases, right or wrong?

That is really up to her. I assume she means that the novel was big and she wasn't sure if she was completely ready for the limelight....but I don't really know the context.

Rather dumb of SH to not include any info. Curiosity caused me to check. Has to do with her winding up in the public spotlight. More in my post.

The Hunger Games will very likely be a good moneymaker between word of mouth and book fans.
