A Witches of East End fan a couple of months [ago] had a tattoo of the sisters — of me, Rachel, and Julia. It was just our profile and it was like, kind of amazing.

"I really would like to be in a musical."

Sharks. It cripples me from swimming in the ocean. I swim for like 10 seconds and I swim out really fast. I’m terrified of sharks! And everyone says it’s easier to die in a car accident than a shark [attack], but do you know how bad it would suck to be eaten by a shark?! [laughs] It’s like, why risk the one percent? And I think I’m like kind of the same size as a seal, it freaks me out.
