Blake Lively Doesn't Want to Play It Safe

Blake Lively (Serena) wants to take risks with her career. "I'm on a very commercial show, so the last thing I want to do is a commercial movie," Blake told Marie Claire. "I wanna take risks, I don't wanna play it safe. I mean, I could probably make more money if I did more commercial projects. It would be nice to buy an apartment but I'm 22 and I don't need to yet."

She doesn't want to do commercial movies, eh? That explains why she took that role in artsy little indie Green Lantern.

Blake was less forthcoming about her home life than her career, alluding only vaguely to Penn Badgley (Dan). "At the end of the day, you're just in any relationship. How does anybody go to work every day and come home? You just do it and it either works or it doesn't."

Well, that may be oversimplifying a little. Some couples also like to stop at a few nightclubs and make out for the paparazzi between working and going home (ahem, Ed and Jess).
