Blake Lively Does W Magazine

Blake Lively is on the cover of W Magazine (December 2008 issue). Levelheaded Blake Lively is emerging as the buzziest (and busiest) of the Gossip Girl gang. In an era of starlets gone wild, Lively is even borderline geeky. At certain points, she becomes rather boring, don’t you agree? Interview snippets and pictures from W Magazine inside the full story.

On her dad: “He’s doing great, all things considered. It was very serious. And it’s hard to be on the other side of the country from him. I’m so used to being within 10 minutes of my family.”

On how she doesn’t get her lines until the night before shooting: “You get used to it. I can read a four-page scene once and have it memorized. It’s a skill you learn in school: disposable cramming. We’re flying by the seat of our pants a lot of times, which is why I enjoy doing films. It’s a change of pace. It sounds cheesy, but with a film, you get to let each scene marinate.”

On how she spends her time: “I don’t really like to go out. I’ll go listen to live jazz, but the club scene isn’t so fun for me.”
