Lily Collins originally wanted to be the youngest talk-show host (9 photos)

Rising star Lily Collins recently had a fun photo shoot and interview with LA Times. Here are some highlights:

On her early-career aspirations: 
“I wanted to be the youngest talk-show host. No one got [the concept]. I came in to boardrooms with pie charts and research. I was like, ‘Why is this not computing? It seems a given that the younger generation has a voice!’ I feel like I was just a few years too early.”

On her get-it-done mentality:
 “I have a mentality of taking a situation and making it the best it can be. From being 16 and going into boardrooms and having to prove myself, I understand the process of shocking people. They see one thing when you walk in, and hopefully they see something else when you leave.”
