  • Not knowing what's going to happen.

  • I've never been asked this ever, I would say probably a wolf

  • Ok

  • I'm going to go with that one

  • Alright, who is the person you want to have coffee with?

  • I mean Ryan Gosling's cool

  • How do you like your coffee?

  • I like an americano really strong, with just a little bit of non fat milk

  • Ok, favorite curse word?

  • The bad one

  • The "F' one

  • Just because it describes everything really strongly, when you're feeling really strongly

  • about something whether you're happy or sad it's just the one that you go to

  • Grey and black

  • Grey's my favorite color

  • It's a good color

  • If it's a color

  • It's a great color

  • Growing up in the limelight was their ever an experience where you feel like you missed

  • out on?

  • High School, I only went to one year of public school then moved to LA and was put into home

  • school and I hated it. I really wish I would have experienced a real High School career

  • We can have our own prom

  • That would be great. I've been to so many fake proms actually set proms in films and stuff. Actually...

  • I did get to go to prom a prom but it wasn't my prom

  • I'm sure their are plenty of guys out there that would ask you to prom right now anyway

  • I want to go to prom

  • Describe a time that you felt most nervous?

  • Auditions but probably like most nervous ever the first dance I did for 'Dancing With The Stars'

  • It was terrifying because not only was it live, like millions of people watching,

  • but you know it's something I've never done before. What if I trip and fall, what if this

  • happens, what if that happens

  • And you crushed it

  • Oh, thank you

  • You're welcome

  • It's all a blur, I was so nervous I was thinking must get through it

  • Who is last incoming call in your phone?

  • My sister, this morning, I talk to her every day

  • Older or younger?

  • Older, 8 and a half years older

  • Oh my gosh that's a huge difference

  • Yes, best friends though

  • Did you become friends later in life

  • No they're pictures of her as an 8 year old and I'm sitting on her lap as a baby, just

  • she's always taken care of me

  • Ah, that's so cute

  • Alright two more, oh three more, I lied

  • Lets go

  • Whats a reoccurring dream you often have?

  • reoccurring dream, usually that I'm running from something or someone and I can fly and

  • that's how I get away. It's kind of awesome I really look forward to those dreams

  • What does that mean?

  • I not sure, I run from my problems.

  • Maybe you can soar through any obstacle life throws at you

  • I like that one better, that one's a lot more positive then where I took it, I was like

  • "I run from my problems"

  • No, but then you fly

  • Exactly and take off on wings

  • What time is your bedtime?

  • Midnight

  • Midnight!

  • But lately it's been earlier because I have a puppy now and she wakes me up at five, six

  • in the morning and takes her out and I go back to sleep after but I've been going, I'm

  • not going to lie, last nigh I passed out at like 10:30.

  • Those darn puppies, but were getting old

  • I know

  • So what are you going to do

  • I don't know

  • And last questions, what inspires you?

  • Music

  • Awesome, are we going to see some music from you?

  • I think so, I hope so. I'm just trying to get into recording some covers just to put

  • it out there. And I love music and it's something I want to have in my life but I do also write

  • so eventually, hopefully exploring that as well

  • We can't wait. We have to talk about 'Pretty Little Liars'

  • Yes let's talk about it. Mona's not going anywhere

  • She'll still be on the show she hasn't disappeared forever

  • Thank God Marleen called me when she was going to tell me that I died and she was like you

  • are dead, but I want you to know you have a job for two more years. You're not going

  • anywhere it's going to be the new flash back girl. So I said ok I trust you as long as

  • I still have a job you can do whatever you want with my character

  • The initial reaction when she said you are dead how did you feel?

  • My Heart stopped, but she knew that would happen, so she followed it very quickly with

  • don't worry you still have a job

  • Ok so tell us what obviously you know Mona either has to come back from the dead and

  • haunt people or we see flash backs so give us a little spoiler

  • Yes lots of Mona flashback, the second half of the season will be all about finding out

  • what happened to Mona and did Allison kill her and through Mona flashbacks you will find

  • out exactly what happened

  • I know that when you went initially in to audition for Spencer, right?

  • Yes I did

  • Yeah see told you, stalking

  • Look at that

  • I know, so after the fact, now looking back, are you glad that you go Mona instead

  • Absolutely, I think that the cast is exactly the way that it should be, a lot of us actually

  • auditioned for different roles and it so hard to picture the cast any different

  • Brant Daugherty who plays Noel originally auditioned for Ezra

  • That would be wired

  • And, Sasha who plays Allison originally was up for Hanna

  • Yeah I think I read that

  • So if you think about it that way it's just such an odd thing to, I just think we all

  • suite our characters so well, so I'm very happy I have Mona.

  • Your character was actually one of my favorites because you went from feeling bad for Mona,

  • to hating Mona, to at the end really loving Mona.

  • She's had such an arc

  • Did you have fun with that though, playing those different like, kind of layers

  • Oh my goodness absolutely I never was bored playing Mona, sill not, still never bored,

  • and the flashbacks give me a lot of fun stuff to do as well, and I feel like she's just

  • such an unpredictable character and as an actress that made it really fun to play

  • Absolutely... Nerdy Mona?

  • I love nerdy Mona

  • or fashionable Mona?

  • Nerdy Mona all the way, all the way, give me polkadot knee high socks any time

  • You know you look so cute in the nerdy clothes, it works out

  • What was your favorite thing to come out of being on 'Pretty Little Liars' so far?

  • Wow, um gosh, I think so lucky that our fans love the show so much and were so grateful,

  • they're the reason that were still a show, we do it for them

  • So you have to tell me, who do you think 'A' is? You have to give us something

  • for the fans here

  • Ok, I'll go ahead and say, just to clarify, I have no idea who 'A' is

  • Of course

  • But if I had to guess who it was it would be pretty great if it were one of the parents

  • That would be pretty crazy

  • It would be pretty twisted

  • Which parent would you think?

  • I don't know like, Mona's mom?

  • What if it's a man who's like obsessed with Allison and it's a parent

  • I could see that

  • In the books didn't Allison have like a twin sister, do you think it will take that route ever?

  • You know, I don't know, I doubt it just because I think the writers have been kind of trying

  • to shy away form being too close to the books and kind of creating a different story, so

  • I don't think so

  • Who knows?

  • Well that is all, thank you for coming in

  • Thank you

  • That's all guys, check back for more interviews on sheknows.com
