[On her role in Pretty Little Liars] The feedback I have been getting from a lot of girls is that it’s really helped them talk about their sexuality with their friends and with their family. And they’re happy that Emily isn’t a character who labels herself [as gay or straight]; she’s just figuring herself out. And that makes her relatable to them. And to me, that’s really awesome.
You think the truth is some big shiny disco ball of purity? Then go ahead and try it. Be honest. See where it gets you. Telling the truth to the wrong person at the wrong time is how I ended up where I am. Take it from me: you’re always better off with a really good lie.
