What are the most and least fun parts of working on the show?
The best part of working on this show is the cast and crew. I wake up pumped to go to work. There is a lot of laughing that goes on between takes. The only hard part about working on a vampire show is the really late nights.
Here is an excerpt from the interview: 17: What’s it like playing Caroline?
CA: A lot of fun! Her thing is boys…boys and [getting] attention. [Laughs]
17: How are you most similar to her?
CA: She’s sassy, she likes to say things for the shock factor sometimes, when she’s talking about boys or anything really. If she can throw in that funny one-liner, then she’ll totally go for it, and that’s kind of my weakness too: I like to say things that maybe I shouldn’t.
17: How’s Caroline’s style similar or different than yours?
CA: She’s more casual than trendy. Caroline’s style is more small town. She wears lots of cute basics with fun patterns. She’s very colorful and wears lots of bright colors, which I do too actually. But whereas I might wear a funky, red vintage minidress, she would wear a little cotton baby doll dress with some flats, and I’ll always throw on the heels.
Here is an excerpt from the interview: Let’s start with the tough question – do we really need any more vampires?
I’d say no, but I’d also say you do need this show because it’s not what you’d expect it to be. There’s a lot that happens, it’s very exciting, and you have to watch every single episode because it’s not a slow moving show at all, there’s crazy stuff that goes down.
Crazier than playing baseball with Edward Cullen?
Yes. I think our story edges [vampires] up a little bit, and it’s more relatable to our generation because there are so many different kinds of characters in our story. Also, we have a lot of time to build the situations. It’s not like, we have an hour and a half and tada, there’s vampires! In the first episode, nobody even knows about vampires.
Are they the same kind of vampires as in True Blood?
Nope, not at all. We don’t get to be as crazy as True Blood, but it’s interesting to compare the different shows. We do that all the time in rehearsal, asking what does it mean to turn into a vampire? Like, we literally went to the writers saying, “What are our vampires?”
