Lively luminary

Her upbringing
[Her family] are my best friends, anything that goes wrong I go to them. I'm not a wild person at all. You'll never read about me dancing on a banquette at some club. I grew up with the mindset that after work you go to dinner and watch a movie. I don't want to go to a club and not wear panties...

The advice her co-stars of Sisterhood, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel gave her
They said, "All you need to do [is] don't try to do anything. Don't try to clean your house. Don't try to get groceries. Just sleep and eat." I try to do [everything], I go to everything. I think I'm superwoman sometimes, [but] definitely not.

On playing rich girl Serena
Everyone thinks I'm like her. Hello, it's called acting. My idea of a good time in high school was going to Fuddruckers for a show-choir fund-raiser, not hanging out at the Palace Hotel sipping martinis...I was class president, on the cheerleading squad and in a competitive show choir and in six different clubs.

The most awkward moment
Chace and I had to do that scene in the first episode when I'm sitting on his lap on the barstool. Then they call, 'Cut!' and I just have to sit on the lap of this guy I met two weeks before! And I'm like, 'So, you want to get some pizza tonight or something?' What do you even talk about?!? It's not as romantic as people think it is.
