In addition, the Elena Gilbert on 'The Vampire Diaries' shares how people sometimes doubt her acting skill and wishes they could be 'a little more open-minded.'

Nina Dobrev has revealed her wish to portray various kinds of role. In an interview with Nylon magazine for its February issue, the Bulgaria-born actress, who plays Katherine/Elena on "The Vampire Diaries", shared that she would like to ditch her good-girl persona and play a punk or a junkie.

"I want to become a different person, and that's what working in film allows. I want to be a punk or a sweetheart or a drug addict! There are so many things to explore," she said. "Sometimes they'll be like, 'She's not plain enough.' Or 'She's not edgy enough.' That frustrates me. I feel like a blank canvas, and I wish people would be a little more open-minded."

Beside talking about doing more films, Nina gushed about Drake, her former "Degrassi: The Next Generation" co-star. "He was so sweet. It's almost weird to me that he's a rapper and a sex symbol now. I remember being in the car going to a party, singing along with the radio, and somebody said 'Isn't that your buddy Drake?' I was like, 'Who's Drake?'," she spilled.

Additionally, Nina told the publication about her fondness for cats. "I'm gonna say [I am a] 'cat woman,' because 'cat lady' makes me sound 500 years old," she shared before adding, "But I love my furry friends. I even made a calendar for 2012. It's called My Pussies: A Hairy Love Story. [Cats] just migrate to me. I'm pretty sure I was a cat in a past life."
