Popwrap has just posted a pretty awesome Interview with Nina so check out some of it below and of course read the rest over there. Not in any order of the Interview from the site I just posted a few snippets.

PW: Do you have a favorite incarnation of Katherine to play?
Nina: I say that in general Katherine is more fun than Elena because she’s not how I act on a day to day basis – I don’t bite and attack and be a bad-ass every day. Even when I think I’m being a bad ass, I’m not really [laughs]. Katherine is a legit bad-ass.

Nina: Yea. It was. Especially with Jenna dying. She was a family member. One of the originals. Well, not originals as in The Originals on our show, but she was there since day one.

Elena and I had to cry and go to a lot of really bad places mentally for those scenes. I’m curious though, as an audience member – how was that sacrifice episode?

It effects Stefan more than anyone would have imagined. Jeremy’s life is just completely turned around, and almost confusing – you’ll see why soon enough. But it initiates these storylines that will flourish in season three. Continue Reading
