“It's not easy to find a topic. Talking of home is painful. Talking of the present unbearable.”

“what is the worst pain? To me, it's always the pain that is present.”

“And while I was talking, the idea of actually losing Peeta hit me again and I realized how much I don't want him to die. And it's not about the sponsors. And it's not about what will happen when we get home. And it's not just that I don't want to be alone. It's him. I do not want to lose the boy with the bread.”

“I’ve stopped talking because there’s really nothing left to say and there’s this piercing sort of pain where my heart is. Maybe I’m even having a heart attack, but it doesn’t seem worth mentioning.”

“I'm not good at talking about myself.”

“To me, there's no point in talking about things that might have been.”

“If you won't talk about yourself, at least compliment the audience. Just keep turning it back around, all right. Gush.”
