When I don't have to be at work, I want to be the real me - the comfortable me!
— Leighton Meester
I don't even think about fame at all.
I love live music and I love to see people's faces when I'm performing.
I'm so accustomed to being alone.
I feel like my friends are in a cult because we're like, 'No outsiders!
I don't want to have a friend unless I can call them one of my best friends.
Sometimes you're a little too close for comfort, and I think anybody can relate to that, whether you're in college or just moving out on your own.
A nutritionist helps me eat healthily at home.
It's hard to have any kind of luck in this business.
I'm not sure I ever want to get married.
I grew up reading 'Sense and Sensibility' and 'Pride and Prejudice' - girly kind of books.
I always change my hair, but I don't like haircuts!
I remember looking through magazines or watching movies even just a couple of years ago and being like, 'I really want to be part of that,' but not realizing what that was.
I don't know if it'd be any time soon but I'd really like to work on a collaboration with somebody - I always have ideas for stuff like that.
I love my parents very much, but people either continue or break the patterns of what their life should be and I just want to completely break whatever patterns would lead me to the same life choices that they made.
If you get a wrinkle, I don't feel that's indicative of your losing ground. That's ridiculous.
In this world, everyone wants to know everything about you, and I think that's funny.
I believe in love, children and being a good person.
When I do get free time, I spend a lot of it at home with my family and my close friends and I think that's what keeps me happy, healthy, grounded, and totally in check.
I want an identity outside of my work.
I just go at my own pace and I like control of the TV and I like to decide when I take a shower and wash the dishes and stuff like that. So I don't know who would want to live with me to be honest!
I had a bunch of different hair colors. I was experimenting to see what I liked. It started off brown, then I did red, then I got really, really blonde!
When I'm singing a song, I picture somebody in particular. A lot of it is to a guy.
I feel more mature than most people my age.
I'm a grown woman and sometimes, I might be a little fat, you know? Am I alone there? Not really.
I don't want to hang out with some guy I just like.
High school for me was not all that fun. I think it's a lot more fun after when you realize that high school ends, and everything that's important at that time is sort of not important if people don't like your jeans or whatever. It doesn't matter.
I've been so blessed to work with the people I have.
In real life I've learned to love not wearing any makeup whatsoever, and I'm super low-maintenance when it comes to my hair.
I've gotten to wear such beautiful clothes and had such a variety and it's just been so nice because I feel like I've grown so much with my style and everything because I've been able to have fun with it. It's really fun for me.
I couldn't relate to kid stuff. 'Jimmy doesn't like me!' Who cares? I was worried we didn't have gas money or food. Those were my concerns.
People are pretty respectful for the most part.
Any fear of aging, I think, is simply vanity.
I watched a lot of TV, and it clicked one day that these people were acting. It sounded like the most fun thing ever.
Daily life shouldn't be a fashion show all the time.
I do so much work that I don't have a lot of time for my life!
Everyone has this universal understanding of roommate drama.
I've learned to let things roll off my back.
I didn't really like modeling; it was fun but I always wanted acting.
I've been through a lot as far as love.
I used to drink tons of caffeine. Now I make smoothies with frozen berries and Green Vibrance health powder.
I like to be judged by my family and friends because they know me.
The only time a relationship is good is when you really love them.
I love Edith Wharton. And I love old New York. Anything to do with New York.
I look up to my mom. She's a beautiful woman.
I couldn't be happier.
I really like to be able to have variety and to try different things - that's the beauty of fashion.
I never played sports. I wasn't any good at them.
Honestly, all I ever do is work.
I've never been crazy. I'm a very good girl, to be honest. I don't do anything to hurt anybody.
