Hilarie: I've never studied acting or anything because I've been so lucky with MTV. I'm convinced I got the chance to be on One Tree Hill because I did a guest thing on Dawson's Creek as myself, when the cast appeared at the MTV Beach House. And my only scene was with Chad Michael Murray. So, now the Chad and I are reunited. How bizarre is that?
Hilarie Burton (On One Tree Hill): I have no idea what is going to happen to me on this show. Everybody wants to know who I am going to make out with next. For all I know... I could be making out with the coach.
Hilarie Burton (About how she was initially miffed at Christina Aguilera after getting snubbed on her first assignment with MTV as a contest winner at the VMA's): When I was on the red carpet at the VMA's as a contest winner, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears wouldn't stop to talk to me. You can actually see them blowing me off on camera! The next day on TRL, when Carson asked me about it, I said, 'Whatever, they didn't win anyway.' But my bosses thought it was hilarious. They showed the scenes of Christina blowing me off as one of the top moments on the TRL End-of-the-Year Countdown! Well, a few months later at the Grammys, Christina apologized to me on the air! I was like 'Whoa! She was so nice!'
Hillarie Burton: My birthday is July first and my best friend's birthday is July fifth so it's always been a favorite holiday. It's all about having a cooler full of sodas, hot dogs, and just hanging out and shooting off firecrackers, being low-key, watching the fireworks. There's something about a holiday that isn't all about how much money you spend.
Hilarie Burton (On Peyton Sawyer): My character is a good girl, but she is also kind of [sexually] suggestive. This is definitely not your mom's drama. This is going to be very realistic.
