The Beautiful Life: TBL, Darcy's Wild Life, Greetings from Tucson
(On being compared to Alexis Bledel) I have been getting that all the time ever since Gilmore Girls (2000) came out. I have been chased down the street before with people yelling, "Alexis, Alexis, you're blonde now!" And I'm like, "No, my name is Sara and I've always been blonde!".

I listen to all kinds of music. But people are really actually surprised to find out that I'm like a really big classic rock fan. Like The Rolling Stones are my favorite band. And when I was little, my mom had to inform me that John Lennon was dead. I didn't know that. I thought they were like a current group when I was in fourth grade. My mom was like, "Honey, I just want you to know, there's other music out there. There's Britney Spears! And *NSYNC! And John Lennon is dead". I was like, "Noooo!" And then I was like, "They're old? No!" But I still love 'em.
