With "Catching Fire" premiering in theaters next month, Josh spoke with Seventeen where he settled the debate on whether J-Lawr is funnier than him, heartbreaks and being blinded by love.

On who is funnier on set, himself or Jennifer Lawrence?

We have this debate all the time -- I think it’s me! This sounds mean, but it's true, and Jennifer would agree. Her thing is being shocking, goofy, and silly -- which is amazing, and it takes a talented person to do that. I like to be more clever and witty. But if you had to go on who gets more laughs, I’d say she’d be the winner.

On having his heart broken:

I think getting broken up with is worse than breaking up with somebody…For me it hurts more when you're ready for something to keep going and the other person isn’t.

On whether he’s dated girls with the wrong intentions:

Definitely. I was blind at first by looks, by love, whatever. I’ve been known to fall hard and quick for girls, which I think is better than not falling at all.
