Blake Lively

I was class president, on the cheerleading squad, in a competitive show choir, and in, like, six different clubs.

Design, whether it's on your body or in your home, is the same thing. It's mixing different colors, different textures, and unexpected patterns - elements that you wouldn't often put together in an interesting way.

Wanting to be an actor and wanting to be famous are different.

My mom would have different fragrances for different times of the year. They were a part of her identity. I don't remember the specific ones she used, but I remember the bottles.

I went straight from high school to 'Gossip Girl,' and both were very structured, scheduled environments, so I never had freedom to explore and carve my own path.

I want to get involved in causes I believe in, and I know so many others that want to also get involved, but it's hard to know how. Often, it's through big organisations, and you don't know exactly where your money is going or what effect you are having.

I could probably make more money if I did more commercial projects.

I'm so used to being within 10 minutes of my family.

Fragrance is a bit of a selfish gift because it's comforting when you're near someone and you recognize their smell.

I've never been a big fan of gossip. Being a victim of it, I knew how much it hurt.

I always like hair being a little messy because I think there's something appealing about the whimsy of putting on a gown with any hair or make-up - just stepping into it, and you're ready.

Stars really are like anyone else. At the end of the day, Brad Pitt poops - as handsome as he may be - and so does Angelina Jolie.
