Bellisario: "I can tell if I'm being lied to or manipulated a little better than most. It's definitely an advantage for me.

Bellisario: "What Hollywood truly wants is for people to be themselves. I think what it's designed for is to kind of turn people into something and just make them saleable. But what it really stands for, what it really loves, are people who are unafraid to be themselves, and as you can see, these are people who are excelling in their careers."

Bellisario: "It's a very wonderful yet difficult thing to be given a lot of really good opportunities and the world is at your fingertips."

Bellisario: "My dad is a successful television producer, director and writer, and my mom's a director and writer. Even when I was young, I wanted to be an actress."

Bellisario: "I love to operate in a world that values things outside of beauty. It's just more what I feel comfortable doing."

Bellisario: "I was definitely a tomboy. My mother liked to dress me differently, but it was her loss when I came home with mud in my hair every day. I've always been more comfortable with guys; I don't know why."

Bellisario: "When I was in high school, there was a lot of pressure on me. I felt like I had to be perfect."

Bellisario: "The minute I'm off that stage, I try to get as 'me' as possible. I do that by piling on my black eyeliner, and I put on my ripped tights. Dressing like myself again helps."

Bellisario: "I'm not a glamorous girl. I don't know how to do my hair. I'm very bad with makeup."

Bellisario: "Hollywood is a challenging place; it's very easy for people to lose their heads. Fortunately, I grew up on it and I think I have a little bit of a head start."

Bellisario: "I grew up with brothers. Girls terrified me."

Bellisario: "My high school was a private school where you went to an Ivy League. That's just what was expected of you and nothing less. So I grew up never being okay with a 'B' because a 'B' was not good enough."

Bellisario: "Seeing my friends succeed, find love, or just feeling content makes me feel unconditionally happy."
