Hayden Panettiere Covers 'Nylon' March 2013 - Exclusive Quote!

Hayden Panettiere is gorgeous on the cover of Nylon magazine’s March 2013 issue, which hits newsstands February 28.

Here’s what the 23-year-old Nashville star had to share with the mag:

On Nashville, which she exclusively told JustJared.com: “It’s been unbelievable how quickly this place has become my home, and how quickly I’ve made friends. I’m from New York, and when I [first] moved out to L.A., it was pretty intense, because as most people will tell you, in L.A., it takes a good four years to really make it home.” When asked if she’s as headstrong as Juliette: “Yes, yes I am. I hope that I’m a little more graceful with my approach than she is. But I’ve been in this business a lot longer than she’s been in hers.”

On staying out of media frenzies: “I was smack in the middle of that generation whose constant scandals were on the cover of all those magazines. Everyone was looking to me to fall off my horse- to make a mistake, just one wrong step. So I went out of my way to make sure that I didn’t even put myself in a position to be seen that way.
