Fun Fact: Her character is so mean on TV but the actress is a total sweetheart in real life! Sasha’s really creative, too, and even has her own jewelry line.

AC: Being an actress, you have to keep fit. Do you have any tips for staying healthy?

Sasha Pieterse: I like to rock climb. You don’t feel like you’re working out and it’s a lot of fun. There’s a place down on Ventura that’s amazing.

AC: Who’s one of your favorite musicians to work out to?

SP: This is kind of cheesy, but I love Justin Timberlake. His music has a good beat and he’s fun—I love that.

AC: What’s your biggest guilty pleasures?

SP: I love love love love love cookie dough.

AC: We heard you have passion for jewelry making. Can people purchase your pieces anywhere?

SP: I mainly just do it for fun, but I’m selling it at boutiques right now. It’s going to be in store called “Ignition” that’s in Valencia, CA.

AC: That’s amazing! Now, beyond the jewelry, we heard that you’re creating your own clothing line, too.

SP: Yes! Well, it’s all under process and unfortunately I’m waiting for the right time right now. Hopefully it’ll be coming out soon. I’m so excited about it, though.

AC: What made you want to start your own line?

SP: I’ve always loved fashion. My grandma has been a seamstress her whole life and she just recently immigrated over here from South Africa. She’s living with us and so we definitely want to start it up sometime.

AC: How would you describe your personal style?

SP: My personal style used to change all the time. I think now it kind of settled. simple, but there’s things that are accented that make it bold. I like neutral colors, like blacks and the browns and whites, then I like to  accent it with colors—red especially. So yeah, I like to be comfortable, but I love heels, so I’m kind of all over the place but in that “simple but bold” category…

AC: On “PLL” you play evil so well. Do a lot of people think you’re mean in real life?

SP: Some do. In the first season, I kept hearing: “Oh my gosh! You’re the next Regina George.”

AC: Can you let us in on any secrets about your character’s storyline this season?

SP: “PLL” is going to be showing a side of Alison that everyone failed to recognize when she was alive. She’s got an interesting family life, which I think fans will enjoy seeing.

AC: Do you think your character is taunting the other girls?

SP: I’m not sure. I’ve gone back and forth with it because A is just everywhere. We’re getting closer to finding out who A is, though, and whether he/she is retaliating or not and if it’s Alison.
