Amanda Seyfried
Singing was my first love and I never even considered it after I started acting, but now I'm bringing it back into my life. I trained from the ages of 11 to 17. When I moved to New York and got into serious acting, I just kind of abandoned the whole singing thing. But when I grew up in Pennsylvania I went to voice lessons once a week.
I'm not really into clubbing, I like to go to parties after events, and those do end up at clubs or bars. But in my free time I go grocery shopping or to the gym, or I talk on the phone.
I have jeans with holes in them and I have nice jeans. I have casual and I have dressy jeans. I've got all kinds.
I've auditioned for roles that involved voice, but I don't like it. I feel like, I can't do this in front of you. It seems so separate - I don't share it with a lot of people. And I'm not into public performances.
I have a dirty mouth sometimes, and I'm very liberal, and that doesn't always go down well in the film industry - especially when you've got to appeal to mums and daughters.
I was naturally skinny and had braces, so I wasn't a cute model.
I'm not a beautiful prom-girl type.
Well, it's very easy for me to gain weight, but even though I tried not eating for a week when I was really young, I couldn't do it any longer because I liked my food too much.
I would love to live in Paris and speak French. That would make me feel glamorous!
I have realized that I hate going to the premieres of the movies that I'm in. Because I feel this tension after the movie is over that everyone feels obligated to say something nice to you. It's so unnatural and uncomfortable.
It was a big deal to me to play characters and feel things and connect to somebody in a fake world.
I mean, why am I considered an 'it girl?' Because I'm in a lot of movies right now or am on the covers of magazines? I just hope there is something solid behind that. Because here's the thing with 'it girl' status. It's great and amazing that anybody is saying that at all. But how long does that last?
I would like to establish myself. I don't want to just have a moment.
I have only really gotten by with playing versions of myself as most young actors do.
I think I'm past the age of getting lost.
Being professional is just really clearly the way to go and helps you on the road to longevity.
A film set is really delicate and people treat you very very well if you're an actor because they want you to be as comfortable as possible for you to do your work, but it really is just one in a team of many and usually 150 people.
Well, if you're suspecting your lover is having an affair, it's definitely devastating. It's really a terrible, terrible feeling because you have no control.
I don't think it's really possible to share someone in most cases.
When you start using test audiences, it becomes more scientific than it is about the work itself, and that's boring.
I don't want to be in magazines everyday, because I don't want people to get used to one thing.
I remember I had a fight with my friend when I touched a boy for the first time and I didn't tell her. She got mad with me, not because I didn't tell her but because I'd done it in the first place.
I make hats. I'm on a hat frenzy. I'm on my eighth and I love it.
Actors are separated all the time.
You learn very quickly what people are so enamored with, and it's not necessarily me.
Oh yeah, I think about kids all the time. I feel like the next person I commit to, that's going to be the guy who I'm going to have kids with. That's in my crazy female brain. So that's why I'm like, 'I can't commit.'
I found a lot of fairy tales scary. They really didn't sit well with me.
I went to art school when I was little.
When I was a preteen, I got into singing, and became really obsessed with it. But then, of course, that didn't work out.
My focus is to not focus too much on one genre.
I like to keep people guessing.
We all get stuck. We all lose ourselves a little bit in a fantasy or in our jobs and forget how we feel about other things. It's really important to check yourself, to spend some time alone.
Waxing my legs is pretty much the only thing I have to maintain.
Maybe I should drive a hybrid. I do have a shirt that says, 'Go Green.'
A smoky eye and nice hair are not going to make my night any easier.
I get unreasonably nervous before talk shows.
I'm pretty sure I would never do a full frontal in a movie - for personal reasons, I wouldn't really want to show that.
I think the era of the diva actress is coming to an end.
The funny thing is, the girls that I'm always up against for roles are pretty nice and cool, like Emma Watson. She's awesome.

I'm good with getting older, because I feel like one day, I know I will love myself. I can't imagine staying at one age. Ideally, I'd want to be 20 physically but 40 mentally.Collection: Getting Older
Nudity doesn't scare me at all; the only thing about it is the perception by the audience.Collection: Perception
The main thing you can change is how you perceive yourself. Stop looking in the mirror and realize that you're living for yourself, not other people ... I have belly fat like everybody else, and I don't want to be airbrushed on the cover of a magazine. I don't want someone to swap out my stomach with a supermodel. I don't want dirty old men looking at me in my underwear.Collection: Dirty
I'm always suspicious of people, especially being in a weird realm of people kind of knowing me... and not knowing what people's motives might be.Collection: Knowing
The strong smells I remember are all floral. There's nothing like a farm rose to take you back to the mountains and the meadows. I'm a mountain girl, a meadow girl, so I feel very close to that.Collection: Girl
I just did a five-day raw-food diet, but I'll never do that again. It's really hard! I'd wake up in the morning feeling great and go to bed feeling miserable, because dinner would be cucumbers, kale, and dressing. I mean, at the end of the day, if you can't have a Girl Scout cookie and a piece of cheese, what is life all about?Collection: Girl
