The girls in high school who watched 90210? I was watching Seinfeld.

Year Two is a critical year for any television show.

At first we didn't have a lot of access to New York City, but very quickly, I think people recognized if you were on the show that was a good thing. We always saw the show as a love letter to New York City.

I was coming off of The O.C. and had very little interest in doing another teen drama. And then I got sent theGossip Girl book series, and I was like, 'I might not be ready to leave high school after all.'

It's my experience that the fluidity of sexuality with younger people is more accepted.

You do in your art what you cannot do in your life.

I think you're only as good as the work that you do.
