Are Meant To Be

Nina Dobrev is April 2011’s Teen Vogue cover girl!

The Vampire Diaries lady talks with Teen Vogue about multiple things.

On not getting a lot of sleep: “By the time I get home, memorize the next day’s work, brush my teeth, remove all the makeup, and shower to get the blood off . . .and then I have to be back at work in seven hours. I can only do so much.”

On playing both Elena and Katherine: “When I signed on to the show, I didn’t know whether I’d be playing both girls. And while it’s been cool, it’s also exhausting because it’s double the work. You invest so much of your heart and soul and energy into making even one character. It’s like doing two movies at once.”

On being an over-achiever: “I wanted to be the jock, and I wanted to be a dancer and actress. I was also a gymnast and very academically driven. I always had a lot on my plate and was really overwhelmed. Not much has changed—I’m constantly trying to one-up myself and raising the stakes. Ha! No pun intended.”

On the rumors of her dating Ian Somerhalder: “We expected the rumors. Like, if I wasn’t dating Ian, I’d be dating Paul. A lot of people who work together end up dating, so it wouldn’t be unusual, but I’ve never dated anyone I’ve worked with.”

On paparazzi: “I just feel like a normal girl, and the whole concept is very odd to me. But other people, like Ian, have had that experience before, so they’re like, ‘Yeah, this is what happens; there’s nothing you can do about it.'”
