" Seventeen: Your character, Magnolia recently joined the Hart of Dixie cast. What can you tell us about her? Claudia Lee: Magnolia is Jamie King&amp;#039;s character Lemon&amp;#039;s younger sister and she is the total opposite of Lemon. If you watch the show you can see that, because when they introduced Magnolia, she got alcohol poisoning and was a little out there. She butts heads with her sister. Magnolia stands up for what she believes in and is a very strong-willed person. That&amp;#039;s the total opposite of Lemon. You will definitely see more woopsies from Magnolia. She&amp;#039;s in this family that&amp;#039;s looked upon in Blue Bell as the family who runs the town and one little thing Magnolia does wrong could ruin their reputation. It&amp;#039;s that struggle of not wanting to ruin the reputation of your family but still being a teenager and trying to find yourself. 17: She&amp;#039;s shaking things up! CL: She is shaking things up! She&amp;#039;s very strategic. She plans things out perfectly for certain reasons and you&amp;#039;ll see that too. 17: How well do you relate to Magnolia&amp;#039;s personality? CL: Her passion for what she believes in is definitely something I relate to, but I also think I&amp;#039;m very different from Magnolia because I don&amp;#039;t go out and party like she does. I listen to my parents. But I can definitely relate to the strong-willed aspect of her. 17: Did Rachel Bilson, Jamie King and the rest of the cast make you feel welcome when you started? CL: Oh my gosh, yes! They were so sweet. On my first day on set, Jamie just took me under her wing and so did Rachel. 17: Were you a big Rachel Bilson fan before you met her? CL: Yes! When I was little, my babysitter and I used to watch The O.C. together and I totally remember Rachel from The O.C. and I just loved her style. And she&amp;#039;s just so unpretentious and down to earth. So I&amp;#039;m such a huge fan of hers. She also has she ShoeMint, her shoe line with Steve Madden coming out and I&amp;#039;m excited about that. I hear details from her and I just cannot wait. 17: You also have your album coming out! What is your favorite song on the album? (Seventeen&amp;#039;s pick: &amp;quot;Hollywood Sunset&amp;quot;!) CL: That&amp;#039;s really tough because each song has it&amp;#039;s own flavor and twist. I have 12 songs and five of them I wrote, which I&amp;#039;m very proud of. I&amp;#039;m a very message-oriented artist, and each song has a totally different meaning. I&amp;#039;m not the type of artist that&amp;#039;s like &amp;quot;let&amp;#039;s go out and party and dance your life away!&amp;quot; I think those artists are so cool, but I wanted meaning in my sonds and they have messages. 17: What is your writing process like? CL: I think of moments in my life that I go through or I see my friends go through. One of the songs on my album is about my friend and a struggle that she had to overcome. She had a very difficult family situation and she had to really mature and grow up in a sense because she has younger siblings who look up to her. The whole family was just distraught by what happened to them, so I wrote a song about her. New episodes of Hart of Dixie start January 23rd at 9 p.m. on The CW and Claudia&amp;#039;s debut album comes out Feb. 28th! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
