Mods, I combined/already paraphrased two separate interviews. That's why it's longish.
Leighton Meester will spend the rest of February on tour -- click here to see if you're lucky! If you're not as lucky, you can still appreciate her SLAY-tonness through these interviews and a recent cover of the Caravelles' "Dream of You" she released with lifelong friend Dana Williams.
Looking back at starring on Broadway's OF MICE AND MEN and if she'll revisit theatre: At this point it’s been almost a year since I started it, but it really seems like yesterday. It’s hard to describe; I’ve never experienced anything quite like that, but I loved it and I’d love to do it again at some point in the future. I don’t know if I can match that particular experience or level of inspiration that I got, but I’d like to try.
The process of her releasing her album, which was in the works for five years: I started the process of writing the record about four and a half years ago, and then I was going back and forth between LA and New York working with bands and musicians to put music out there in a live setting, but I’d never recorded anything because I wasn’t going to have time to do a proper tour or promote it.[...] And then I met my producer in 2012 (Jeff Trott), and he and I just sat and talked about my vision and the music I like, the meaning of my record and what I wanted to say. If I got a movie I’d have to leave, or if I had to travel for something I’d have to leave, but I’d always come back to his little studio. Then in 2013 we actually were done with demo-ing everything, and so the whole process took almost as long as it’s taking me to describe how long it took.
If she's used to people making stories out of her personal life (most recently, pictures of her home went online): Yeah, I avoid it as much as possible. The nice thing is I do have a personal life and it’s personal—that’s how I like to keep it. Whenever I’m talking in an interview, I’ll talk about my dogs, my home and things that shape me—the music I like, the books I like, things I’m interested in, my friends, my family. But yeah, I think there are certain things that are off limits—and I can’t apologize for that at all. That’s how I like it.
Her three most-played songs on Spotify: I’ve got [country legend] Ernest Tubb; I’ve got anything off of the "Wakin on a Pretty Daze” album by Kurt Vile. I love Big Star—I love that double album, “#1 Record/Radio City."
She released this for Valentine's Day
