Blake Lively is so adorable! I've loved her ever since Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, so it's nice how she's blown up since then. The actress took a minute to sit and chat with Marie Claire recently about love, life and career. Here are some of the highlights.
On Gossip Girl:
?I?m on a very commercial show so the last thing I want to do is a commercial movie,? she expands. ?I wanna take risks, I don?t wanna play it safe. I mean, I could probably make more money if I did more commercial projects. It would be nice to buy an apartment but I?m 22 and I don?t need to yet.?
On knowing Gossip Girl would be a hit after reading the script for the first time:
?Whoever does this is not going to be able to walk outside of their house.?
On being a fashion icon and meeting her idols in Paris:
?I?ve always loved fashion. Love it! That?s why I don?t use a stylist. Number one, it?s such an expression of self.?
?I was speaking with Anna Wintour, and we were just talking about different fashion houses and I said, ?I love Chanel?, and she said, ?You should come with me to the show.? I also said I loved Dior. She said, ?OK, well, I?ll take you to the Chanel and Dior shows and we?ll meet with Karl and John [Galliano] afterwards.? So I went to dinner with Karl Lagerfeld and we got to spend a lot of priceless time together. Oh my gosh, riding around in Karl Lagerfeld?s Rolls-Royce with the top down. Insane!?
?It was like a fairy tale. Afterwards we went to dinner and we?re climbing back inside his Rolls-Royce and someone said to me, ?See, you?re so lucky, you get to see the real Paris with the real Parisians.? And I said, ?What part of this do you think is the real Paris and the real Parisians! This is fairy-tale Paris.? It?s not everyday life. I mean, I know I?ll go back but it won?t be the same.?
