I started working in front of the camera for the first time when I was 15 years old. I joined a soap opera. We filmed in Brooklyn and I would skip class to shoot my scenes. It was terrifying and I entirely self-conscious in front of the camera.

I don't ship anyone. I really don't. I'm not a shipper, but I'm all for men duking it out for a chick.

The first scene I shot on The Originals was the one with Phoebe, Charles (Michael Davis), and Andy Lees when we are plotting our plan and surveying the map and plotting our grand "break in." It was a relatively light scene which was nice because I was able to warm up a bit and get comfortable with being around the new crew. They were all very kind and helpful and I felt pretty at home after a few takes.

As everybody knows, chicks dig the vampires.

I don't mind only kissing Nina Dobrev

That love has to always exist.

Stefan would be so great for her, because it's just so annoying watching those two on screen all the time!
