"For years, I had been waitressing and babysitting and catering and personal assisting, and having any side gig I could possibly find," said Lowes about beginning her acting career. "At the same time, slowly but surely coming up the latter. Getting one line then two lines then three lines then a guest star, then a recurring."

Of course, the brunettte starlet opened up about her popular role on "Scandal," detailing just how she landed on the show.

"I went in to audition for Quinn and I felt really connected to her," added Lowes. "For a million reasons but one of them being that my middle name was Quinn. It was one of those auditions where everything just came really easily. I was able to remember the lines really easily and my acting just felt really natural and in place."

Lowes continued, "I feel like if she was just a regular person and didn't work at Olivia Pope & Associates, she would have some sort of addiction problem. I think that there was something there last season when she got to control a situation and get that high. That's a real disease that people have. When people are addicted to the high of certain situations it's hard to get rid of."

Lowes didn't just pour out her heart about her character, she posed in some seductive shots for the publication. In one shot, the starlet donned an Agent Provocateur dress, Dolce & Gabbana shirt, Tony Burch fur coat and Efva Attling ring.
