<p class="has-medium-font-size">You made it a &#8220;must see&#8221; last season and now &#8220;The Secret Life of an American Teenager&#8221; is back for an all new dramatic run on ABC Family. We caught up with Shailene Woodley (Amy) and got a look at the girl behind the character and found out how she got her big break on The Secret Life. Read all about it right here on Feeling the Vibe.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size"><strong>Q&;A with Shailene:</strong></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>FTV:</strong> How do you like the cold?</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Shailene:</strong> Actually, I don&#8217;t mind it. It&#8217;s so warm all the time in California, so it&#8217;s nice to have a little change for a little while.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>FTV:</strong> I&#8217;m sure it is. What was the audition process like for you with this show?</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Shailene:</strong> It was pretty much like any other audition process. I went in and met with the casting director; and then there was interest there so they brought me in, and I met with the director. Actually, I didn&#8217;t know it at the time, but Brenda Hampton was in the room and she took a liking to me, and then we did a director session after that where it was me, Brenda, and the director, Ron Underwood, and then I went to testing. So it was kind of a quick, crazy process that flew by. It all happened so quickly and it&#8217;s been such an amazing journey.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>FTV: </strong>We saw you out here in New York for the ABC Family event. Didn&#8217;t get to talk to you, there wasn&#8217;t time, but we saw that you have really cute styles. Where do you like to shop and what&#8217;s your &#8220;must have&#8221; for the winter season?</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Shailene:</strong> Well my &#8220;must have&#8221; for the winter season in New York would be a big fluffy jacket but, in California, I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t think that I have a style, I&#8217;m very eclectic I guess with it. I love shopping in thrift stores and vintage stores more than anywhere else. Urban Outfitters , sometimes you can find the most amazing deals on the sale. I&#8217;m a very big sale shopper, so everything I wear is from the sale rack, and I&#8217;m kind of eclectic as far as where I shop.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>FTV:</strong> Great, that&#8217;s cool though. What kind of music do you like to listen to, any favorite artists right now?</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Shailene:</strong> There&#8217;s this one band called the Streetfighters that I think is amazing and there&#8217;s a lot of other like alternative Indy Rock Bands that aren&#8217;t as big as them. For instance, like my best friend the other day showed me a band it&#8217;s called Porcupine Tree. It&#8217;s absolutely insane. I don&#8217;t know, I just like a lot of different bands like Radiohead I guess you could say.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>FTV:</strong> Thanks so much.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Shailene:</strong> No problem, nice talking to you.</p>
