On leaving The Vampire Diaries: “I’ve loved working on this show. It’s been such a crazy, awesome adventure, and I’ve been surrounded by so many people who I consider family. I know this is a new exciting step in the right direction for me, but it’s going to be so strange not to be with them.”

On preparing to audition for roles: “I’m ready to put up that fight again. I’m excited to put up that fight.”

On a roadtrip she’s taking before getting ready to hit the pavement: “There are no hotel reservations, no real plans. Just six people, three vehicles, two in each car.”
