Penn Badgley

I've always loved music. I listen to music the way a lot of actors watch movies.

The 'Gossip Girl' idea and ideologies, like, they sort of encourage this certain kind of, like, materialism and superficiality that isn't, I would say, the best thing in the world.

I want to be an actor - I don't want to be a celebrity. They are two different things, and people have forgotten that they are different.

I have a dog named Steve that lives at the studio.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.

I have no neighbours other than animals and Joshua Trees.
