I have belly fat like everybody else, and I don't want to be airbrushed on the cover of a magazine.
— Amanda Seyfried
You've just got to be comfortable with yourself.
Hollywood is just like high school: The popular people love the other popular people. And the thing is, some people aren't nice. Or they are nice, but only to your face, not elsewhere.
When taxidermy is done well it's an amazing piece of art.
Perfect is boring.
I love my apartment in New York.
When you're playing somebody who's going through a lot - frustration and hardship - you're just purging all your emotions, and it feels really good to do that.
For the first time in my life I'm really happy to be unattached because I realise there is so much responsibility to having a partner.
I love acting like I'm in love. It's a very positive thing.
I just like to do covers, every once in a while. If someone pays me to go into the studio, I'll do it.
I just can't wait for the future.
I think the era of the diva actress is coming to an end.
I have to feel good on the inside to look glamorous.
Waxing my legs is pretty much the only thing I have to maintain.
My dad, he is such a soft man. Even if he has these opinions about my boyfriends, he will be the sweetest guy. He will make you feel like you're fascinating and awesome, even if he doesn't like you that much.
I like to keep people guessing.
I went to art school when I was little.
Singing is a way of releasing an emotion that you sometimes can't portray when you're acting. And music moves your soul, so music is the source of the most intense emotions you can feel.
I just don't like my face.
I suffer from anxiety attacks a lot.
I sacrificed six years in L.A. I did my job out here. I made contacts and did the work I had to do.
I don't like to play characters that are too perfect.
I don't want to become a brand and I certainly don't want to have a persona.
I'm trouble, but in a good way.
It changes you a little bit every time you either break someone's heart or get your heart broken.
I went to four different proms in high school. I was addicted to the whole ballroom thing.
I guess I would ideally want to be 20 physically, but 40 mentally.
It's just like my dream to shoot things with no consequences.
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.
A smoky eye and nice hair are not going to make my night any easier.
I don't dye my hair and I can go without makeup.
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.
My focus is to not focus too much on one genre.
I found a lot of fairy tales scary. They really didn't sit well with me.
I never saw myself going to college. Even when I was looking at different schools, I was like, this really isn't right.
I always wanted to make people feel something.
I love animals and they're very easy to look after when they're dead.
People are made up of flaws.
There are definitely reasons to do certain things, but I like to stick to good director, good actor, good script.
I talk like I know what I'm saying, but I don't.
My sister keeps me grounded.
When you're young, it's hard not to get together with your costar.
No matter what's happening in my life, I can always get lost in the romances of my characters.
I'm good with getting older because I feel like, one day, I know I will love myself.
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 get unreasonably nervous before talk shows.
Maybe I should drive a hybrid. I do have a shirt that says, 'Go Green.'
If you can't pronounce a word correctly, just don't use it.
I happen to be really a romantic.
When I was a preteen, I got into singing, and became really obsessed with it. But then, of course, that didn't work out.
