I've Got a Chi and a Lot of Sequins.

rachel, you were 21 when the show started and obviously, when when a show becomes very cessful, there can be a lot of yes people around. It's hard to kind of grow and develop in an environment where everyone is telling you how wonderful everything is. And so ive found that experience a pretty relevant to my life at the start of vampire diaries. Thank goodness i had wonderful people around me, like some of our producers, or mindy, who gave me, like, really good advice.
