Everybody wants a sensational story.

I do hope that for the young women watching the show they know it is heightened reality and just grown ups playing teenagers. That's not how it is supposed to go. Just keep it to yourself.

Everybody wants a sensational story.

I've named a couple things after Edgar Allan Poe: the cat, and my garden upstate, where I only planted black flowers and purple flowers - and there's a raven statue.

I don't think I've ever played a 'hot chick' before. I always play the quirky friend or the really angry girl.

I grew up in the United Methodist Church, and church was always a very big part of my growing up.

I want the kids who watch 'One Tree Hill' to know that it's all pretend, and that the person at the core of that character values morals, honor and things like that. You want to inspire them to look beyond what is superficial and try to find that greater thing.
