Leighton Meester on Blair Waldorf

Blair is.... I don't know what she is... I have to enter a completely foreign body to sympathize with Blair and her decisions.  You know, Blair grew up very savvy, well-educated, and lonely.  I think her mother is not the most supportive person and... Blair is very competitive and conniving, and it obviously comes, usually, from a very human place, but she makes decisions that I would never make.

Minka Kelly on Leighton Meester during the filming of The Roommate

She worked with psychologists; she really studied the illness of the character, so much that at times on set i was a little concerned whether or not she was there because she scared me so much!  The look in her eye was so surreal I was in awe at how much she committed to it.

Leighton Meester on Her Family and Friends

I like to be judged by my family and friends because they know me.  If they think I'm being an asshole I'd like them to tell me, but if I'm fat or something I'm like, "Well, so?  OK?  Great!"  It doesn't even matter; it's like, "What if I am fat? Does it matter?"... I'm a grown woman and sometimes, I might be a little fat, you know!  Am I alone there?  Not really!
