Check out Disfunkshion Magazine‘s interview with Candice:

Candice Accola was the quintessential interviewee: she was warm and bubbly during our talk. For her age, Candice has achieved success on many levels, yet still remains humble about her undertakings. Beautiful, personable, fashionable, and intelligent are just a few adjectives that best describe this ambitious, hard-working young woman. Since her role shift in Vampire Diaries, this starlet has many personal achievements piling up including her incredible heart for charity work and awareness advocacy. It is no surprise that Candice is one of the most sought out beauties in Hollywood who combines internal and external allure.

Can you relate to your character in the Vampire Diaries in any way?

Candice: I can definitely relate! My character recently discovers her super natural powers. Now while I can’t relate directly in that sense, I am also a young woman still discovering myself at the same time.

What has been your overall experience on the show?

Candice: It has been the biggest blessing ever. We have a really large cast but we are still all really close and tight. We film in Atlanta, and none of us are from there, so it kind of made us close in the sense that we are all in a new environment together.

What made you get into acting?

Candice: I actually started out singing. I was signed to a record label at 16, and from there I branched out into acting. I went through a lot of rejection and a lot of trial and error before I broke into the acting industry.

Speaking of music, what kind of music are you listening to at the moment?

Candice: I’m listening to the Miniature Tigers right now. I just saw Billy Idol in concert here in Atlanta! It was amazing!

What makes you so aware at such a young age to partake in charity events and to give back to the community?

Candice: I just stay true to who I am and what I know. I don’t go out of my way to do anything that isn’t in my daily routine- meaning, everything I do is genuine and from my heart. We place so much emphasis on things that don’t make a bit of difference in the world, and we fail to recognize important things like giving back to the community.

How would you describe your personal style?

Candice: Since being on the show, I am more conscious then I was before about what I wear. I’ve also become savvier. Los Angeles has some really great vintage/thrift stores. I’m also all about comfort. I only wear what feels good on my body. Sure, we all like to put on a designer dress every now and then and get dolled up, but let’s face it, that’s not practical for everyday women and everyday wear.

Check out another video of Candice for November’s issue of Seventeen Magazine:

Candice Accola (Caroline):
“I was on a bomb-threat plane to Spain. They had to turn the plane around and land in New York. We were all held for 24 hours until they found out this disgruntled but beautiful flight attendant had written the threat in lipstick on the bathroom mirror.”

At the end of last week’s ‘Vampire Diaries,’ poor, abused Caroline Forbes was tied up in a dungeon-like basement (why are there so many freaky, torture-ready chambers in Mystic Falls?) as her heretofore unseen father, played by ‘Heroes’ star Jack Coleman, prepared to “fix” her so she wouldn’t be a vampire anymore. Pretty heavy stuff for just the second episode of the season.

Having discussed Season 3 with Candice Accola, who plays Caroline, on the Atlanta-area ‘Vampire Diaries’ set just a few weeks ago, AOL TV knows that her character is safe (for now). Accola spilled plenty of scoop about Caroline’s budding romance with werewolf Tyler, the sex scenes that make her dad uncomfortable, and Caroline’s mindset this year, but she played coy about her impending daddy issues. Frankly, we’re kind of worried that she’s such a fantastic liar.

Okay. Tell me about Caroline and Tyler.
Caroline and Tyler. The writers have already come out to the press saying that they’re really comparing it to Romeo and Juliet’s love story, which is very very sweet and very romantic and thrilling, but they die at the end, which doesn’t sound very exciting for Michael and myself in keeping a job! So, hopefully it’s not too Romeo and Juliet.

Well, Julie Pleck describe their situation as, and I quote, “animalistic sexual tension.”
Wow, my dad’s going to be super uncomfortable. That’s my biggest fear right now — I’m terrified.

There was a very sexy scene in the Season 3 trailer.
Let’s just say that what fans and viewers have to look forward to is my father, Kevin Accola, being very uncomfortable.

Will you tell him ahead of time?
Yeah, because I learned the first season. On episode two, when Caroline and Damon had their thing, I kind of warned him. And I called my mom to ask, “What happened?!” I guess there was a promo afterwards with Nina in a bra, and apparently he was like, “It’s just not natural. It’s just not natural. First it’s my daughter, and then all of a sudden her friend, and they’re children, and it’s just not natural!” So, it’s about to get real unnatural in Season 3. [Laughs.] Quote from the interview. “It’s about to get real unnatural.”

It seems that Caroline and Tyler might have mom issues because Mrs. Lockwood knows about vampires in town.
I will say that, coming into season three, Caroline and her mother have a great relationship. So as far as Caroline’s concerned, with parental figures in her life everything is actually really really great. What I love about coming into this season is that the writers brought together the girls a little bit more, so there’s a lot more Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline scenes. So in the midst of all of this drama going on, there’s a birthday party, and the girls are about to go back to school. They bring back those fun, very teenage, nostalgic teenage moments. Not teenage in the sense of ‘LOL!,’ but nostalgic teenage moments that we all love so dearly on television and in high school-based television based shows. So in the realm of parental figures, Tyler might have some stressful situations coming up, but Caroline is pretty good. [Ed. note: How excellent of a liar is she?! No mention of the daddy situation.]
