It’s Not That Complex

A new behind the scenes video and highlights from Shay Michell’s interview for Complex Magazine has been released. Highlights can be found below.

On preparing to play a Emily on Pretty Little Liars: “Honestly, I didn’t do anything. I know people who’ve played gay characters and they’d hang out at a gay bar or ask questions. I know what it’s like to love somebody, and my character loved a girl, so that’s how I played it.”

On sneaking out when she was a teenager: “I was the queen of sneaking out. My parents gave me the basement suite, so I had an easy time getting out from that window. One time, I had friends staying over and we went downtown and got into a club with fake I.D.s. We were there for 45 minutes and I was dancing with a guy when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and it was my dad. He was like, “Can I have this dance?” We all walked out of the club like little ducklings.”

On wanting to be in an action film: “I love all the Bond movies. I love the cute girl who can kick ass. As much as I’m a girly-girl and I like to dress up, I’m also adventurous. I’ve gone skydiving and I really want to learn how to surf and rock climb this year.”
