Wow - Leighton Meester has certainly thought carefully about what she wants to do when Gossip Girl finishes.
She was very forthcoming about all the things she wants to do at a party in NYC this week, including her career and personal plans. She told Fashionista:
"I think both singing and movies. I’d like to continue writing and performing and making music.
"I would like to travel. I want to go to school. I want to garden and cook and work on other things that I haven’t been able to do."
Phew! That's a lot to get started on, especially when the show has no plan on going anywhere. But she is enjoying working with Blake Lively, Ed Westwick and the rest of the crew:
"When I look back, this has been the destiny of my life and it’s been amazing to spend the bulk of my 20s on a show living in New York and carrying out this alter ego life of a character that I love.
"Someday it will be the past, but for now it’s the now and I love it."
Ahh, we love it too!
