I'm not a very fancy person. I've been a writer a long time, and right now 'The Hunger Games' is getting a lot of focus. It'll pass. The focus will be on something else. It'll shift. It always does. And that seems just fine.

More quotes by Suzanne Collins
I notice her blouse has pulled out of her skirt in the back again and force myself to stay calm. Tuck your tail in, little duck, I say, smoothing the blouse back in place. Prim giggles and give me a small Quack. Quack yourself, I say with a light laugh. The kind only Prim can draw out of me.
Suzanne Collins
What do you think? I whisper to Peeta. About the fire? I'll rip off your cape if you'll rip off mine, he says through gritted teeth.
Suzanne Collins
Plutarch rushes to reassure me. Oh, no, Katniss. Not your wedding. Finnick and Annie's. All you need to do is show up and pretend to be happy for them. That's one of the few things I won't have to pretend, Plutarch, I tell him.
Suzanne Collins
Got it, I say. Did you tell Peeta this? Don't have to, says Haymitch. He's already there.
Suzanne Collins
I have been keeping track of the boy with the bread.
Suzanne Collins
Let the Seventy-forth Hunger Games begin, Cato, I think. Let them begin for real.
Suzanne Collins
If I'm going to cry, now is the time. By morning, I'll be able to wash all the damage done by the tears from my face. But no tears come. I'm too tired or too numb to cry. The only thing I feel is a desire to be somewhere else. So I let the train rock me into oblivion.
Suzanne Collins
Poison. The perfect weapon for a snake.
Suzanne Collins
I can hear him weeping but I don't care. They probably won't even bother to question her, she's so far gone. Gone right off the deep end years ago in her Games. There's a good chance I'm headed in the same direction. Maybe I'm already going crazy and no one has the heart to tell me. I feel crazy enough.
Suzanne Collins
Oh, well. At least my blood is flowing.
Suzanne Collins
Sorry excuses for hunters and friends. Both of us.
Suzanne Collins
Her name's Prim. She's just twelve. And I love her more than anything.
Suzanne Collins
Since my father died and I stopped trusting my mother, no one else's arms have made me feel this safe.
Suzanne Collins
Yeah, we wouldn't want to lose our little Mockingjay when she's finally begun to sing.
Suzanne Collins
We could do it, you know. What? Leave the district. Run off. Live in the woods. You and I, we could make it.
Suzanne Collins
I don't write about adolescence. I write about war. For adolescents.
Suzanne Collins
Of course you are. The tributes were necessary to the Games, too. Until they weren't, I say. And then we were very disposable - right, Plutarch?
Suzanne Collins
So I only say, So what should we do with our last few days? I just want to spend every possible minute of the rest of my life with you, Peeta replies.
Suzanne Collins
Each time I wake,I think, At last, this is over, but it isn't.
Suzanne Collins
I realize only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me.
Suzanne Collins
