I like the glamorous indie rock look, like The Libertines. But you know, without the heroin needle sticking out of my arm.

I think gardens are fantastic, and I'd love to draw and design and stuff like that. I love just planting flowers during the summer. There's something very humble about it, and natural and beautiful.

Music gets inside you, music captures you. Music becomes your heartbeat. It’s a drug and makes you feel whatever the song’s about.

'Villain' is such a harsh word.

I was just doing bits and pieces of acting in the UK. I'd been in the film Breaking and Entering - Anthony Minghella gave me my start and I miss him dearly. Then I made the trip out to LA, during one of their pilot seasons, which was when they were developing Gossip Girl, and I auditioned, and things came together.

I bite my nails. I've been chewing on them for years. As long as you don't chew through flesh it's all right.

I'm all for being in love and whenever I like someone, I end up pretty much completely smitten.
