On What She Loves About Bonnie Bennett
"[She's] fiercely loyal … The relationship that Nina [Dobrev] and I have in real life is so similar to Bonnie and Elena’s relationship. The support and the humor and the sarcasm and the funniness; it’s so real. I don’t know if Bonnie would be the same without Elena, she’s a huge part of what I do. I also think that she’s a tough b-tch. [Laughs] So that we have in common."Photo Credit: Neal Agustin at Paris Club
On Remaining True to Herself
"When you always have a camera in your face and you always have to perform or have to be ‘on’ or have to look a certain way you forget that there are people in the world that don’t have access to clean water. You forget that there are people in the world that are dying from preventable causes, these third world orphans and children. Once you keep that in your consciousness—as hard as it is—and you keep yourself aware that you have bigger things to do in the world and that if you’re put in this position it’s to raise awareness for certain things I think you’ll be fine."Photo Credit: Neal Agustin at Paris Club
On What's in Her Purse
"Well now I have my Samsung, this Galaxy S III which I’ve actually put down for the first time in a second. I have red lip stick. [Looking through clutch] Oh, a ring! I always have my phone, jewelry, I have my money. I usually have more crap; I have a way bigger bag but I didn’t want to scare everyone with all my crap."Photo Credit: Neal Agustin at Paris Club
On The Hardships of Making It As A Dancer
"Pretty awful! [Laughs] You’re always in the background, ya know what I mean? And you get treated like crap!" She explains, "It’s basically like 300-400 dancers showing up for maybe a 10 dancer spot; You’re there all day and then you maybe get cut and they have this thing called type-casting which they just kind of say yes or no and they don’t even watch you dance. So it’s a really awful experience."Photo Credit: Neal Agustin at Paris Club
On Which Celeb She'd Have A Drink With
"Umm, maybe Prince. Hopefully he wouldn’t try to marry me; I’m his type. "Photo Credit: Neal Agustin at Paris Club
On her lingual abilities

On The Theme of Her New Album
"Definitely relationships, yeah. Both but mostly heartache. I was with a guy for like a year before the guy I’m with now and I’m still taking from that and putting it into my music."Photo Credit: Neal Agustin at Paris Club
