the Gossip Girls
On the Gossip Girl wardrobe:
Leighton Meester: "We like to joke because it's such a fashiony show, like, 'What are you wearing? I'm in Channel, or Valentine-o."
Blake Lively: "It's just made me hungry for beautiful clothes because I get to wear them on set every day, and then I go home and buy them. So it's created a shopping problem. I must stop! where's Chanel?"
On meeting their fans:
BL: "It's really amazing for me to come to these places and see the real-life people that we portray."
LM: "I've had fifteen-year-olds come up to me carrying Hermes bags."
BL: "One of them just walked up to Penn, put her arms around him, and gave him a hug. She was so confident!"
Leighton on playing Blair: "If you're playing a seventeen-year-old girl on TV, it's rare that you can have a character that has more than one dimension. It's weird because usually the bad girl is the b*tch, but my character's a good girl, and shes a b*tch."
On their audience:
BL: "I find it's mostly adults I get stopped by. They always have to preface it by 'I'm 35; I shouldn't be watching the show. . . .'"
LM: "Then they're like, with their boyfriend or their husband and they're like, 'Sorry, sorry, but I watch it, too."
BL: "It's funny how people feel like they have to confess it."
