Blake Lively W Magazine December

'Gossip Girl' Blake Lively is the cover girl of W Magazine's December issue. Check out some highlights from the interview below..

On the perks of stardom: “I probably have, like, 60 gorgeous bags. I have a closet with my really sharp, fancy, nice ones—the ones that go with my Valentino pumps, for example. And then I have a closet with the ones that are a little more rugged-feeling, the kind that go with my Belstaff motorcycle boots.”

On her aversion to partying: “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.”

On denying gossip of real life tension with her co-star Leighton Meester: "I’ve never really had a competitive relationship in any work situation. The media is always trying to pit us against each other, I guess because it’s just not interesting to say, ‘Everyone gets along; everybody just works 18-hour days and goes home to sleep.’ That’s not fun to read, I guess.”

On transitioning from movies to television: “I’ve been learning as I’m going along. I thought, Okay, I’ll try a movie. And I was loving films, so I thought, No, I don’t want to try TV. But now I’m loving being on the show more than I ever could have imagined. It has been just the most amazing experience anybody could ever ask for. It’s such a blessing.”

On how the gossip cast is expected to get through a 55 page script every eight days: “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.”
