Gossip Girl's Blake Lively has revealed that she's not afraid to take risks in her career.

After finding fame in the hit series Gossip Girl, Blake says that she doesn't want to play it safe in her professional life because her past projects, like Gossip Girl, have been very "commercial".

In an interview with Britain's Marie Claire (Via contactmusic.com) she shared: "I'm on a very commercial show, so the last thing I want to do is a commercial movie. 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. I live in New York City. So, I'm able to differentiate between what I want and need and what I want more is to do great roles."

And when asked about her co-star and boyfriend Penn Badgley, she said; "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."

We love how balanced Blake is!
