Dobrev: "Even though you're growing up, you should never stop having fun."
Dobrev: "I know a lot of people dread going to work every morning, but my work is playing pretend and doing stunts and screaming. It's a lot of fun and I get to play dress up. Every day is exciting and different and new and cool. I couldn't be more grateful."
Dobrev: "I'm progressive in some ways, old-fashioned in others. I like it when guys hold the door open and are sweet and thoughtful."
Dobrev: "I really want to be associated with great projects and character driven projects and films. I have to feed my soul, and keep feeling like an artist and keep being challenged."
Dobrev: "When I work out, I feel happy, confident, and accomplished."
Dobrev: "Part of life and part of the enjoyment of life is a croissant and a chocolate cake and eggs and milkshakes and oatmeal. There's so many things, you have to learn to appreciate it all. When I don't eat as much as I should, I'm not fun to be around; I'm fussy."
Dobrev: "I love fashion, and I love clothes, and so collaborating and putting pieces together is a passion that I have."
Dobrev: "I'm constantly trying to make myself better, to learn more. I didn't finish college, so I feel like I'm always having to prove myself. I don't want to feel like the smallest person in the room."
Dobrev: "Every woman wants and needs different things. It's always best when you're honest and you speak up. It's hard to read minds."
Dobrev: "Wash your face at the end of the night! There's nothing worse than sleeping in makeup. You wake up looking like a painting that's been left out in a rainstorm."
Dobrev: "If I feel confident wearing something, I think it translates in photographs. It changes my demeanor and posture."
Dobrev: "Starving to be skinny isn't my thing. When I don't eat, it affects my mood! On-set, I fuel up with small meals and I'm always grabbing high-protein snacks, like almonds. Chai lattes with espresso also keep me going."
Dobrev: "I'd like to try different genres: comedy, period drama, rom-com, action."
Dobrev: "I don't like any kind of negativity. I try to be good to everyone, whether it's a love, a friend, an ex. I'll always try to treat people the way I want to be treated."
Dobrev: "I like to keep some things to myself, because its called a private life, not public."
Dobrev: "You either have chemistry or you don't, but a lot of what attracts me is a guy's mind and humor and talent. I need to get to know all those things before I fall for someone."
Doberv: "My way of discovering of what I like was to create a restaurant list and eat my way through it, and I call it my 'inner fat girl bucket list.'"
Dobrev: "People aren't defined by their relationship. The whole point is being true to yourself and not losing yourself in relationships, whether romances or friendships."
Dobrev: "I think you have to draw from any character and bring it to yourself as much as possible."
Dobrev: "I could be a yoga instructor. I'm not certified, but I could do it. Once I did a class where the instructor didn't show up, and I just went to the front and did it, and everyone followed. So I've done it before, and I love it."
Dobrev: "Exercising gives me endorphins and energy. I do it four days a week."
Dobrev: "Looking back on high school, I just remember specific scenarios and thinking, wow, that was such a big deal at the time, but right now it feels like it never even happened. So I guess if I can give any advice, I would just say that everything will pass, and it'll feel like it was a big deal over nothing."
Dobrev: "Even though I'm big on recipes, I love to make up my own dishes and when you take a risk in the kitchen, you learn a lot about food!"
