Have you been bombarded by the legions of GG’s female fans in New York City?
I wouldn’t say “bombarded,” but I’ve been surprised with how popular the show is. It’s exciting!

I hear your character Bree is a bit of a bitch, just like Blair. And a bad girl. Is that true?
That’s kind of a big myth! She certainly is not a bad girl at all! She comes from a different world—from a rival Texas elite family that has a lot of beef with the Archibalds. So there’s a lot of tension that comes from that, and there are some interesting stories that are a little dramatic. But there’s a great deal of getting along between Nate and Bree.

Everyone from EW to TV Guide has also made your character sound like a Miss America type—a kind of Carrie Prejean clone. Is she like Prejean?
No. I don’t know where that leaked into the press. She certainly isn’t a debutant or a beauty queen or anything like that. She’s very grounded, very sweet, and very smart. And she certainly isn’t blonde!

Does your character, Bree, share scenes with Leighton Meester’s Blair or Blake Lively’s Serena?
Yeah, absolutely! Actually, in the first episode we just shot, Nate and I come out of our romantic little bubble, and I’m introduced to his friends.

Does your character have drama with Ms. Waldorf?
You know, I think Blair tends to have drama with a couple of girls, right? I don’t know that they [Nate's friends] are immediately welcoming of Bree—I will say that.

Is Bree hiding something, or is she a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of gal?
She definitely has layers, I will give you that. But I don’t think she’s hiding something.

What else can you tell me about Bree?
Anything you want to know! She’s really a very confident girl. She’s a strong young woman, well-educated. She’s certain about who she is and where she came from. She is open to possibilities of change in her life. She’s also sort of the black sheep in that she doesn’t follow the rules the way society has expected her to behave, and that is what attaches her emotionally to Nate. They’re sort of bred to hate each other, but in reality they find a lot of camaraderie.

Is Nate (Chace Crawford) a good kisser?
Chace is everything you would imagine him to be, and more!

Who are you close with from the GG cast?
Chace and I have spent a ridiculous amount of time together, and he welcomed me with open arms. Jessica Szohr and I have also spent a ton of time together. We have a tremendous amount of mutual friends back in L.A., so we already had that together.

How many episodes of Gossip Girl will feature your character?
I’ll be there for four!

Maybe more?
For now it’s four, but there’s always the possibility of more. I would love to do more, simply because I love the people. [...]
