Troian Bellisario Chats Directing & PLL With Interview Magazine

Troian Bellisario sat down with Interview magazine for a new feature. The young actress spoke with the magazine to promote the final few episodes of Pretty Little Liars. Highlights are below.

On getting into directing: “I think it really stems from my parents telling me that if there is a story you feel compelled to share, then you are responsible for doing that. You can’t ask someone else to take on that story—or you can, but you have to deal with whatever the fallout is. If the story doesn’t end up being told the way you originally heard it or that you feel it needs to be expressed, that’s on you.”

On wanting to be a part of the entertainment industry: “Growing up on a set, I felt like that was a microcosm that I would always be in. I didn’t know if I was going to be at video village with you or my mom or my dad, or if I was going to be in the writers room, or if I was going to be in costume or set design or hair and makeup, [but] it was the world I knew best. Even as I got older, I started finding that the jobs I so desperately wanted were all connected to a story.”
