Naughty!
And that was exactly what she was going for since she’s used to always playing the innocent type on TV:
“When people see you on TV every week, they just associate you with that character. They truly believe that I am Aria. People meet me on the street and assume that I’m really na├â┬»ve and really young. I think people are always shocked to realize ├óΓé¼╦£Oh my god, this girl’s a woman, she’s 26 years old!'”
“I was really excited to do something a lot more grown up and show a different side of me. I’m glad that you had that reaction because it’s sort of what I was going for.”
She’s excited for her fans to see this sexier, edgier side of her:
“I’m very aware of the people that support me, but you know, I am 26 now, so it is important for me to feel creatively fulfilled in other ways, too. Like you said, you didn’t expect them at all, and that sort of excites me because I wanted it to have a shock factor.”
“I’m very professional and I’m very Type A when it comes to work, but I also have this pretty dark, almost provocative side to me as well. I’m just a petite girl with big eyes that looks really innocent, so they’d definitely be a little shocked to know certain things about me.”
Though she’s finishing with the show soon, she’s looking forward to doing more films:
“I’ll be done next October with [Pretty Little Liars] forever, which is exciting, but also scary at the same time because it’s the next chapter of my life and so I’m really looking forward to exploring different and darker roles.”
“I am doing, like, a really cool indie film in October. That’s sort of the direction I want to head in. It’s a little raunchy, so it’ll be exciting.”
She’ll never forget where she came from, though:
“It always blows my mind that [fans have] stuck with the show for that long, and they support all of us in [our other pursuits]. Like, I do music as well, and people followed me from the show, and bought my album. I feel like, although Pretty Little Liars has been, will probably be, one of the most important things in my life, I think it’s just the stepping stone to so many more exciting things for all of us.”
And the 26-year-old is excited to make both films and music in the future:
“My main focus right now is the film, but music is one of the most important things in my life and will always be a focal point. I’m constantly writing and exploring, and figuring out what I want to do next. So as far as album two, I think I might start working on it really soon. It’s just all about timing and figuring out what makes the most sense. My dream is to make films and to make albums, so if I’m lucky enough to do that I’ll be happy.”
