Running is my solo time; working my muscles outside in fresh air is therapeutic.
— Nina Dobrev
A man in a suit looking put together and dapper is very attractive, but I also kind of like the I-just-rolled-out-of-bed, a-little-bit-of-scruff, effortless, not-trying-hard-but-still-sexy guy. If a guy spends more time looking in the mirror than I do, that's problem!
I'm constantly trying to make myself better, to learn more. I didn't finish college, so I feel like I'm always having to prove myself. I don't want to feel like the smallest person in the room.
To be honest, I don't watch a lot of TV. It's kind of ironic because I'm on TV.
I mean everybody's got ex-boyfriends and girlfriends. Everybody's got baggage.
There's just something about vampires that's sexy. It's the same reason why women go for the bad boy - you want them but you shouldn't have them.
I think you have to draw from any character and bring it to yourself as much as possible.
I was kind of a jock in school. Beauty wasn't something I spent a lot of time on.
Even though I'm big on recipes, I love to make up my own dishes and when you take a risk in the kitchen, you learn a lot about food!
Exercising gives me endorphins and energy. I do it four days a week.
I'm progressive in some ways, old-fashioned in others. I like it when guys hold the door open and are sweet and thoughtful.
Looking back on high school, I just remember specific scenarios and thinking, wow, that was such a big deal at the time, but right now it feels like it never even happened. So I guess if I can give any advice, I would just say that everything will pass, and it'll feel like it was a big deal over nothing.
I try to eat healthy.
I'm kind of a globetrotter. I've been traveling since I was born and living in different locations.
If I feel confident wearing something, I think it translates in photographs. It changes my demeanor and posture.
I try not to read best-dressed lists or anything like that.
Actually... I'm starting a new thing and rebelling against ridiculously high heels. It's inhumane.
I mean, I love to try and cook. I'm pretty good, but I'm not saying I'm great.
I have a flat tummy, but I'm not rock hard. If I'm going to be in a bikini, I'll train more and skip desserts for a couple of weeks. But usually, I work out to feel good.
You either have chemistry or you don't, but a lot of what attracts me is a guy's mind and humor and talent. I need to get to know all those things before I fall for someone.
Even though my grandparents live overseas and are so far away and we talk as much as we can, we don't see each other that often.
I know a lot of people dread going to work every morning, but my work is playing pretend and doing stunts and screaming. It's a lot of fun and I get to play dress up. Every day is exciting and different and new and cool. I couldn't be more grateful.
I literally pass out when I see blood.
Even though you're growing up, you should never stop having fun.
There's nothing worse than sleeping in makeup. You wake up looking like a painting that's been left out in a rainstorm.
Over the holidays is when I have the most occasions to cook and bake.
