Blake Lively is featured in the August issue of Seventeen, which is released July 8th.

On being like Paris Hilton: “Since I have a dog and blond hair, that must mean we’re alike. It’s a dumb thing to say. I don’t think that makes us similar. I don’t know her, but I don’t like being compared to anyone by somebody who doesn’t know me. I’m my own person, I don’t party, I don’t dance on tables and I don’t like sex tapes.”

On Penn Badgley: “Penn does these silly dance moves, and he’s very witty and quick, so it’s fun to have sharp banter with him, when you’re saying these words that people are making you say to one another, nothing about it is real or genuine, so if two people connect outside their characters, then that’s how they get together.”

On love: “When I care about somebody, whether it’s my best friend or somebody who I would date, I give them all of my heart, I’ve just been so loved, and I’m used to really loving people and trusting them.”
