Can you tell us who's a better kisser then, Penn (Badgely, plays Dan Humphrey) or Chace?

(Laughs) Well, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Let me just say this; last season when Penn and I had our scenes, we were eating falafel on set and Penn was very nice to not brush his teeth or chew any gum before the scene and then I'll say that Chace did put gum in his mouth before our scene. So I would say that it was all-in-all a better experience kissing Chace because he had minty-fresh breath. 


Do you think that you'll ever get the chance to kiss Ed Westwick too? (He plays Chuck Bass)

We always joke around about how everyone's slept with everyone on the set, as far as the characters go, so I wouldn't be surprised. As far as I can see in the near future there isn't anything set in stone. So, we'll see.

Out of the three characters, Dan, Nate and Chuck, who are you attracted to most?

(Laughs) I think character-wise I find Dan to be really that dark, brooding, artistic kind of guy that I tend to be more attracted to those kinds of guys in real life. But who isn't right? A mysterious, dark, brooding artist.

Then, in real-life out of the three?

Oh, they're all just so charming, they're all such sweethearts. I get along really well with Chace, I'd have to say Chace because we've been working together a lot recently and we have a lot of fun on set.

The big question that surrounds this series, is Blair's pregnancy. Who's is the baby? Who would you prefer it to be, charming Prince Louis or the guy we all love to hate, Chuck Bass?

I would probably have to say... for the sake of drama and the show, Chuck. Just because, wouldn't it be so much more interesting if there was a little devil baby brewing inside of her, instead of future royalty.

I know, coming out with a little dicky-bow and a scarf on.

Right, exactly. Smoking a cigarette. (Laughs)

Obviously, we also have Serena's choice and the question remains whether she will ever make a decision between Dan and Nate. Again, who do you think it should be?

I think that for the sake of the show again, I feel like it would be Dan. Plus, it's way more interesting with their own personal drama. [Kaylee's referring to the fact that Blake Lively and Penn Badgely used to date]

On to you now, you've got a film coming out soon. Do you want to tell us a little about it?

Dark Room is a horror/psychological thriller film that I did over hiatus, I haven't seen it yet, but we filmed it in 18 days - a full length feature - and we all worked really hard on it, as you can imagine.

Filming something that usually takes three months in 18 days is incredibly stressful and really hard. I'm really proud of the work that everyone did. Keeping our sanity and making it through.

But also at the same time, it's probably one of the more challenging things that I've done because I'd say I'm in 95 per cent of the script, so it was a lot for me. I didn't have much time to prepare it either, I only had maybe a week or two to prepare for it and then two weeks in it. So, it was really challenging emotionally and to see what I could pull together as far as acting-wise. I'm really excited to see it, I think that we have a finished copy ready for viewing and I think that they're going to try and get it sold. I'm excited to see what happens with it.
