INTERVIEW: Blake Lively

Blake Lively is on the cover of the March 2008 issue of Teen Vogue.

On her childhood aspirations:
“I wanted to be an interior decorator. Baking and flower arranging have always been my favorite hobbies. I love Martha Stewart.”

On her first role:
“I played along and did a few auditions. After eight weeks, I got my role in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.”

On her her rumored romance with co-star "Dan", Penn Badgley: “I try not to talk about my dating life. I want to, but once you start, it’s all downhill from there.”

On her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 costars:
“When we got back together, it was like no time had passed. We stayed together in two connecting suites, talked and sang Disney songs all night.”

On her family:
“They are my best friends, anything that goes wrong I go to them. I’m not a wild person at all. You never read about me dancing on a banquette at some club because that never happens. [In high school,] I’d go to fundraisers at Fuddruckers, not drink martini’s at the New York Palace bar.”

On being sexy on-screen:
“In one scene, I was totally falling off the barstool (making out with Chace Crawford). I was trying to be sexy. So I think, ‘what would Britney Spears do?’ So I whished around my hair.”

On Britney Spears:
“I feel so sad for Britney. I want to see what everyone else would do in her situation, she so talented and misguided. She has lived her whole life in front of an audience.”

On rumors of on-set beef with co-star "Blair", Leighton Meester:
“There is always going to be drama on set, but it’s just not true that Leighton [Meester] and I dislike each other.”
