The biggest thing I've noticed is they kind of want everybody to be
their character. Like Leighton [dating] Chace, and me and Leighton
hating each other. Those are our characters on the show – that's
not us in real life.
[about her character Blair] ”She’s really dramatic and everybody thought she was a big bitch - and she is - and that’s really fun to play up. But she’s also helped me learn a lot about myself, because she can be really sensitive and insecure and vulnerable. That makes it such a wonderful and challenging role.” — Leighton Meester

“I don’t hit the parties because I rarely go out. I would be too tired. I rarely find myself physically tired because I make a point of always getting a decent amount of sleep. It’s putting your priorities in order. I chosen that for myself and I have to do it and want to do it. I enjoy it.”

“It’s so important to always be yourself. If you do that, you will be successful as you, instead of worrying about trying to conform.”
I think the most amazing thing about Leighton is that when you see her on screen or on a red carpet or read one of her interview, you really can feel how true to herself she costantly is. I think her personality just shines through everything she does.
I love the way she always takes the risk in fashion, she just doesn’t follow the mode of the moment. She use clothes to express herself. I love her taste in shoes, I love her optimistic energy, her contagious laughter. I love how nice she is to people, even the ones she doesn’t know. I love the way she truly deeply cares for acting and I love how she also always tries to experiment everything, to keep her mind open at every possibilities life offers to her. To cultivate even her other passions, like music.
She is such a role model to me, she shows me everyday what it means to be a strong independent woman, how important it is to love myself and to have the courage to never give up, even when people let you down. She taught me that you can be or become whoever you want to, no matter where you come from or what kind of mistakes you have done in the past.
