After Quote by Troian Bellisario
“I was going to move to New York after college and had no interest in pilot season. I'd seen what happened on TV shows because of my dad, and I didn't want to open myself up to that. But 'Pretty Little Liars' had a very early audition, and my agents encouraged me to go even though I didn't think it would be my thing.”

![“First of all, I swore I'd never move to Los Angeles, and once I did, I swore I'd never do television.
