Shay Mitchell: The Stakes Have Been Raised

There are only 19 days until Pretty Little Liars returns and Shay Mitchell is talking all about the new season!

Check out what the 23-year-old dished during a recent round-table interview:

On what she’s scared of: “I think I’m pretty claustrophobic, so if they had us crawling through some kind of tunnel to get towards A [on the show] – I don’t know if I’d be able to do it. Or be stuck in an elevator, like a small one with everybody. That would be a little bit tricky. I will sky dive. I will jump out of a plane. I will bungee jump. I will do everything, but rodents and being in a small, tight space, not so good.”

On Emily’s fashion versus her own: “It differs quite a bit. I honestly feel like when I come to work and when I’m in Emily’s wardrobe, I turn into her and it’s great because it helps me so much. But my style is completely different from hers and not for any bad reason or anything, just because I’m so girly and I love playing dress-up. I love sequins and I love bright dresses and high-heeled shoes. I don’t know, I just like having fun with fashion.”

On A raising the stakes in the mid-season finale: “It’s definitely raised the stakes. It’s made the girls a lot more aware of everything that goes on around them. Now they knew that A wasn’t really messing around before, but when A hits your friend with a car meaning to probably kill you, you definitely are a lot more careful with everything and just you realize that now A is not messing around whatsoever. It brings each of the girls closer to one another because this traumatic event happened. It just makes them want to find out even just get closer and figure out who A is now.”

Pretty Little Liars returns on Monday, January 3 @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC Family. Stay tuned for more quotes from Shay!
