So what I try to do is have a story where you don't quite know where it's going, and characters who you don't quite know where they're going.

Troian Bellisario

Even when I was young I wanted to be an actress. I knew the actors and the paparazzi. It was just kind of always in my landscape. It was never directed at me, but it was always somewhere so I could see how it operated and I could see it from afar and go 'Wow, that's not really glamorous, it's kind of exhausting not having any privacy.'
