Lily Collins is featured on Glamour Magazine's July 2013 cover.
She may be Glamour’s Next Big Thing cover girl, but for the paparazzi camped outside New York City’s Bergdorf Goodman department store during her cover shoot, Lily Collins is already a star. The 24-year-old actress and daughter of eighties rock legend Phil Collins, stars as Clary Fray in The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, a much-tweeted-about fantasy adventure complete with a sequel in the works. Think of it this way: What The Hunger Games did for Jennifer Lawrence, this film franchise will do for Collins. Listen in.Here is Glamour's interview with Lily Collins
Glamour: The Mortal Instruments is going to be epic too.
Lily Collins: I’m so excited! I had read and really loved the books.Glamour: The anticipation level is pretty crazy. Readers have a lot of opinions about the movie.

Lily Collins talks about her stunt training while on The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones set.
Static questions Lily about her connection with Clary's fearless-ness.I would like to think that I am feisty and fearless. My mom and I travelled to many countries when I was growing up, and I have jumped off a cliff in Paraguay, and jumped off a cliff to go swimming, and I swam with sharks. So, I would like to think that I have done some things. I think I like to take risks, not be unsafe, but like take as many risks as I can.About Lily's stunts in the movie:
Are you good in unexpected dangerous situations?I’ve done enough martial arts training now and I think I would be kind of good in a situation but I try not to put myself in dangerous situations. I think having been able to play some of the characters that are strong females who get thrown into these positions and have to act quickly and I think I have learned kind of a lot from those characters. And also my best friends and the women that surround me in general, are all really strong females in their own way, and witty as well as physically strong. So I think it’s also about how you handle them intellectually and mentally, and if you go through something traumatic, how do you pick yourself up afterwards?

A collection of all the MTV interviews of Lily Collins, Kevin Zegers, and Jamie Campbell Bower from WonderCon 2013. (Videos only available to the US *sorry!* -blame MTV.com)
'Mortal Instruments' Actress Lily Collins Didn't Want Clary To Be 'A Constant Victim'
"I actually saw a lot of similarities between Clary and I," Lily said. "She's a go-getter. She's feisty. She fights for what she believes in, and I really associate a lot of her qualities with mine, but I also wanted to bring this realness to her, like she was just the girl next door, because I didn't want her to be this caricature of a fan-favorite heroine in a book. I wanted her to be someone you could be friends with next door."
Not an easy task, considering Clary is actually a descendant of a long line of demon-destroying Nephilim known as Shadowhunters. (I don't know about you, but the only super-human ability my childhood neighbor had was flying across the Slip 'n Slide really fast.) So how did Lily accomplish this feat?
"[By] incorporating a bit more humor into some of the situations with [Clary] and the boys—just not making her a constant victim," she explained. "Because I think when you're going through so many whats and whys in the span of every five minutes, those reactions could become really similar, and it becomes more of this, 'Oh, poor me. I'm in this situation.' When she's really like, 'Another problem? Solved! Another problem? Let's go!' So it's that really tenacious attitude I tried to incorporate more."
'Mortal Instruments' Star Jamie Campbell Bower: The Next Gandalf?
"I will be playing a young Gandalf, indeed," Jamie joked of the "Lord of the Rings" character. "That's my next job. You can't tell, but I'm in the process of growing out a very extensive beard."
In all seriousness, though, Jamie confirmed that he is a fan of the genre and that perhaps his casting in all these magical projects isn't simply a coincidence.
"What I love about the whole notion of sci-fi and fantasy is that it's a comletely different world, but underneath everything, there's a sort of reality that grounds it," he explained. "And people love to be taken out of their daily lives. I don't want to use the word 'mundane,' but that sort of drudgery, sometimes. Sci-fi and fantasy offer that. It offers that of the person watching it and for me, which I love."
'Mortal Instruments' Stunt Training Was 'Brutal' According To Kevin Zegers
"I think I showed up about four weeks before we started, and it went through filming, so then on lunch break we would go and rehearse the fight sequences," he said of the rigorous preparation. "[Director] Harald [Zwart] wanted us to do our own stuff, which I think when you watch the movie you can tell. It's sort of great, and you can see that it's us, and it's violence and just as, like, a guy, I saw the new trailer and it looks awesome. It looks like a big action movie, also obviously, the love story and everything are going on and the fantasy stuff. The action stuff looks awesome."
But, embodying a physically superior Shadowhunter came with a price for the 28-year-old.
"Brutal," he said with a laugh of the regimen. "I'm like the old one of the group. The young twenties kids were very spry and bounced back. When we finished I was very tired."

Lily Collins talks to Collider.com about her up coming movies, including The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.
Here's a snippet from the interview where Lily talks about The Mortal Instruments:
After the trailer for The Mortal Instruments debuted, did you see the overwhelming response for it online? Are you prepared for the level of excitement for that film?
COLLINS: I did a Q&A at The Grove where there were about 500 girls, all asking questions. Some of them were close to fainting and they were hyper-ventilating, and I was like, “This is so weird!” I was a fan of the books

MSN Movies: I understand that doing "The Mortal Instruments" has been a very personal project for you.
Lily Collins: It is. It's really personal for me. I was a huge fan of the books before I was cast. I looked up to Clary as a fellow reader, and I associate a lot of similar qualities with her because I'm really super close with my mom. And Clary goes on this whole journey to get her mom back, and it's a personal quest for her as she's growing up in search of finding her mom. I completely would act the same way that Clary does if I were in that situation. So I felt very close to the project.
Two-part question: What sets this apart from the other young adult adaptations that have been coming out, and how do you get people beyond that core readership into the film? What does it have for them?
What's different, I think, is that our story involves reality and a fantasy world married together. And it's not just this is happening when it's fantasy and there's magic involved and then this is when she's at school. It's like there are two worlds intertwined throughout the entire movie. And the way that we've filmed it, you forget which world you're in because it just seems so normal. Like the magic stuff just feels obvious to you during the film, so it's not like you're taken out of a reality at any point.

Of course, and by the time Mortal Instruments came along, you’re an established actor. Did they come to you?Screen Gems did approach me. It was a lot of the same team that had worked on Priest and we had really close relationships and they knew that I was a really big fan of the series. So I was very honored when I got the potential to play a character that I’ve grown up loving.
