1(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!".
2I 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.
