Alright guys we are here with 18 fast question with Janel Parrish. Are you ready?
I'm a little scared.
Alright first questions, what book are you reading right now?
Gone Girl
Easy
What book did you read in school that positively shaped you?
ummmm...
Hard I know
Oh, I'm trying to think back to when I was in school, oh my god, I can't remember what
it's called.
Explain it...
Island of the dolphins, "Island of the blue dolphins"
Ok, I don't think I read that.
It was about this woman who get stranded on an island and her people leave, and she goes
back to find her brother and she ends up living on this island alone for years until people
come to rescue he and she learns all about herself and how to live in the wild, its an
amazing book.
Favorite school subject?
English
Favorite movie ever?
Moulin Rouge
Of course
What do you hate on your pizza?
Any vegetables
What?
What about pineapple?
Hawaiian pizza
I don't understand that, I love pineapple just not on things
Do they call it Hawaiian pizza in Hawaii
Yes they do, actually I don't know about that, that's a good questions. I'm going home end
of this month and I'll find out
Tweet me
What is the scariest thing about the future?
Not knowing what's going to happen.
What would you like to happen?
Happiness
That's a good answer
In general you know, in all things. It just the unknown that's terrifying.
I see good things for you
Thank you
If you got another tattoo what would it be?
It's going to happen, sorry mom and dad, a lotus
A lotus, why?
I want to get a lotus, because it's the only flower that can bloom in the darkness and
I love that
Awww that's beautiful
What's your spirit animal?
I've never been asked this ever, I would say probably a wolf
Ok
I'm going to go with that one
Alright, who is the person you want to have coffee with?
I mean Ryan Gosling's cool
[laughing]
He is a little busy right now with his baby
Maybe she'll let me barrow him for like ten minutes
I'm sure, I'm sure she'll do that
Just to sit there and look at his beauty
Go with the young pretty girl for an hour
How do you like your coffee?
I like an americano really strong, with just a little bit of non fat milk
Ok, favorite curse word?
The bad one
The "F' one
Just because it describes everything really strongly, when you're feeling really strongly
about something whether you're happy or sad it's just the one that you go to
What's the color of your bedroom?
Grey and black
Grey's my favorite color
It's a good color
If it's a color
It's a great color
Growing up in the limelight was their ever an experience where you feel like you missed
out on?
High School, I only went to one year of public school then moved to LA and was put into home
school and I hated it. I really wish I would have experienced a real High School career
We can have our own prom
That would be great. I've been to so many fake proms actually set proms in films and stuff. Actually...
I did get to go to prom a prom but it wasn't my prom
I'm sure their are plenty of guys out there that would ask you to prom right now anyway
I want to go to prom
Describe a time that you felt most nervous?
Auditions but probably like most nervous ever the first dance I did for 'Dancing With The Stars'
It was terrifying because not only was it live, like millions of people watching,
but you know it's something I've never done before. What if I trip and fall, what if this
happens, what if that happens
And you crushed it
Oh, thank you
You're welcome
It's all a blur, I was so nervous I was thinking must get through it
Who is last incoming call in your phone?
My sister, this morning, I talk to her every day
Older or younger?
Older, 8 and a half years older
Oh my gosh that's a huge difference
Yes, best friends though
Did you become friends later in life
No they're pictures of her as an 8 year old and I'm sitting on her lap as a baby, just
she's always taken care of me
Ah, that's so cute
Alright two more, oh three more, I lied
Lets go
Whats a reoccurring dream you often have?
reoccurring dream, usually that I'm running from something or someone and I can fly and
that's how I get away. It's kind of awesome I really look forward to those dreams
What does that mean?
I not sure, I run from my problems.
Maybe you can soar through any obstacle life throws at you
I like that one better, that one's a lot more positive then where I took it, I was like
"I run from my problems"
No, but then you fly
Exactly and take off on wings
What time is your bedtime?
Midnight
Midnight!
But lately it's been earlier because I have a puppy now and she wakes me up at five, six
in the morning and takes her out and I go back to sleep after but I've been going, I'm
not going to lie, last nigh I passed out at like 10:30.
Those darn puppies, but were getting old
I know
So what are you going to do
I don't know
And last questions, what inspires you?
Music
Awesome, are we going to see some music from you?
I think so, I hope so. I'm just trying to get into recording some covers just to put
it out there. And I love music and it's something I want to have in my life but I do also write
so eventually, hopefully exploring that as well
We can't wait. We have to talk about 'Pretty Little Liars'
Yes let's talk about it. Mona's not going anywhere
She'll still be on the show she hasn't disappeared forever
Thank God Marleen called me when she was going to tell me that I died and she was like you
are dead, but I want you to know you have a job for two more years. You're not going
anywhere it's going to be the new flash back girl. So I said ok I trust you as long as
I still have a job you can do whatever you want with my character
The initial reaction when she said you are dead how did you feel?
My Heart stopped, but she knew that would happen, so she followed it very quickly with
don't worry you still have a job
Ok so tell us what obviously you know Mona either has to come back from the dead and
haunt people or we see flash backs so give us a little spoiler
Yes lots of Mona flashback, the second half of the season will be all about finding out
what happened to Mona and did Allison kill her and through Mona flashbacks you will find
out exactly what happened
I know that when you went initially in to audition for Spencer, right?
Yes I did
Yeah see told you, stalking
Look at that
I know, so after the fact, now looking back, are you glad that you go Mona instead
Absolutely, I think that the cast is exactly the way that it should be, a lot of us actually
auditioned for different roles and it so hard to picture the cast any different
Brant Daugherty who plays Noel originally auditioned for Ezra
That would be wired
And, Sasha who plays Allison originally was up for Hanna
Yeah I think I read that
So if you think about it that way it's just such an odd thing to, I just think we all
suite our characters so well, so I'm very happy I have Mona.
Your character was actually one of my favorites because you went from feeling bad for Mona,
to hating Mona, to at the end really loving Mona.
She's had such an arc
Did you have fun with that though, playing those different like, kind of layers
Oh my goodness absolutely I never was bored playing Mona, sill not, still never bored,
and the flashbacks give me a lot of fun stuff to do as well, and I feel like she's just
such an unpredictable character and as an actress that made it really fun to play
Absolutely... Nerdy Mona?
I love nerdy Mona
or fashionable Mona?
Nerdy Mona all the way, all the way, give me polkadot knee high socks any time
You know you look so cute in the nerdy clothes, it works out
What was your favorite thing to come out of being on 'Pretty Little Liars' so far?
Wow, um gosh, I think so lucky that our fans love the show so much and were so grateful,
they're the reason that were still a show, we do it for them
So you have to tell me, who do you think 'A' is? You have to give us something
for the fans here
Ok, I'll go ahead and say, just to clarify, I have no idea who 'A' is
Of course
But if I had to guess who it was it would be pretty great if it were one of the parents
That would be pretty crazy
It would be pretty twisted
Which parent would you think?
I don't know like, Mona's mom?
What if it's a man who's like obsessed with Allison and it's a parent
I could see that
In the books didn't Allison have like a twin sister, do you think it will take that route ever?
You know, I don't know, I doubt it just because I think the writers have been kind of trying
to shy away form being too close to the books and kind of creating a different story, so
I don't think so
Who knows?
Well that is all, thank you for coming in
Thank you
