Amanda Seyfried Quotations

It changes you a little bit every time you either break someone's heart or get your heart broken.

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.

It's sad, actually, because my anxiety keeps me from enjoying things as much as I should at this age.

I have written some songs, but I would really call what I've done poetry at the end of the day, because I'll sit with my guitar for hours and hours on end for, like, a week and then I won't touch it for a month. I also just have no confidence. And you know what? I don't have time, because I'd rather be doing other things, like knitting.

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.

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. When you hear a song and you're acting it's incredible. But when you're singing a song and you're acting it's even more incredible.

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.

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.

When taxidermy is done well it's an amazing piece of art.

Making people laugh is magic. I feel like if you have humility, then you can do anything in comedy.

It was a big deal to me to play characters and feel things and connect to somebody in a fake world.

If you can't pronounce a word correctly, just don't use it.

Maybe I should drive a hybrid. I do have a shirt that says, 'Go Green.'

I was naturally skinny and had braces, so I wasn't a cute model.

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 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 love acting like I'm in love. It's a very positive thing.

You don't have to listen to those mean girls. They're just there to make you upset and make you feel bad about yourself. And you know, inside, they feel bad about themselves too. But they don't wanna admit it to anybody.

It's really easy to avoid the tabloids. You just live your life and don't hang out with famous people who are in the tabloids. Don't do anything controversial and be a normal person. Have friends. And get a job and keep working.

I guess I would ideally want to be 20 physically, but 40 mentally.

I would love to live in Paris and speak French. That would make me feel glamorous!

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.

I have to feel good on the inside to look glamorous.

I talk like I know what I'm saying, but I don't.

I would like to establish myself. I don't want to just have a moment.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A smoky eye and nice hair are not going to make my night any easier.

I didn't like fairy tales when I was younger. I found a lot of fairy tales scary. They really didn't sit well with me.

I don't dye my hair and I can go without makeup.

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 found a lot of fairy tales scary. They really didn't sit well with me.

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 went to four different proms in high school. I was addicted to the whole ballroom thing.

Marriage, at this point in my life? I'm not interested in it. Yet. Maybe later when I'm 35 or 40.

Waxing my legs is pretty much the only thing I have to maintain.

When you're young, it's hard not to get together with your costar.

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.

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.

I did theatre when I was nine, I think. Nine and ten, and that was just the beginning of my whole involvement in acting, my whole interest. I don't really remember it that well. But it was really fun. I mean, it was exciting just to be on stage in front of an audience. It gives you a different kind of rush.

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 went to art school when I was little. I took ballet lessons. I played a little kick ball. I was sort of into everything because I had too much energy and I didn't know where to put it. When I was a preteen, I got into singing, and became really obsessed with it.

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 have only really gotten by with playing versions of myself as most young actors do.

I never saw myself going to college. Even when I was looking at different schools, I was like, this really isn't right.

There are definitely reasons to do certain things, but I like to stick to good director, good actor, good script.

Being professional is just really clearly the way to go and helps you on the road to longevity.

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 always wanted to make people feel something.

I don't want to be in magazines everyday, because I don't want people to get used to one thing.

I have belly fat like everybody else, and I don't want to be airbrushed on the cover of a magazine.

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 love animals and they're very easy to look after when they're dead.

I make hats. I'm on a hat frenzy. I'm on my eighth and I love it.

I think I'm past the age of getting lost.

I think the era of the diva actress is coming to an end.

I went to art school when I was little.

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.

It's just like my dream to shoot things with no consequences.

My focus is to not focus too much on one genre.

No matter what's happening in my life, I can always get lost in the romances of my characters.

When I was a preteen, I got into singing, and became really obsessed with it. But then, of course, that didn't work out.

You learn very quickly what people are so enamored with, and it's not necessarily me.

Hollywood is just like high school. The popular people only like the other popular people. And the thing is, some people aren't nice - or they're nice, but only to your face, not elsewhere.

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.

Intimacy is a wonderful thing. It's frustrating that growing up I thought it was wrong. It isn't. Exploring your sexuality is important when you're growing up.

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.

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 sacrificed six years in L.A. I did my job out here. I made contacts and did the work I had to do.

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.

People are made up of flaws.

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?

Life experience is priceless.

If you're from Africa, why are you white?

It’s very easy for me to gain weight. 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.

Taylor Swift is pretty hip...She seems pretty honest. I think that’s hip. She’s promoting knowing yourself, and that’s the best idol.

Do I really want to spend my whole life trying not to die by mistake?

I spend too much time on the Internet. But I do love knitting. Actually, I do more knitting when I'm working.

It's nice to finally be thought of as sexy. I'm very disconnected from the sensual side of me, I know it's in me, but it doesn't really reveal itself very often in my personal life, which I do find problematic.

I'm too measured and controlling - about everything. That's why I take Lexapro. It's for OCD. I don't feel like I'm struggling with it. I think OCD is a part of me that protects me. It's also the part of me that I use in my job, in a positive way.

I'm just more attracted to actors. I like their choice to be artists - that's ballsy. And a guy who has such access to his emotional life is sexy. Or maybe because lots of the actors I know are so broken. I don't think I'm compatible with anybody I've dated. Maybe I'm so attracted to actors because I'm not ready for the 'settled down' thing yet.

I happen to be really a romantic.

I am most scared of being bored

Anxiety, it just stops your life.

I'm never going to be with a guy that can't deal with my friendship with him.

I actually grew up thinking that sex was absolutely terrifying and that it would kill you.

I'm most comfortable in my birthday suit.

My sister keeps me grounded.

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 love my apartment in New York.

Actors are separated all the time.

The risk for me has to do with the nudity aspects. I'm an American actress in mainstream movies, and I would like to always be able to do them. For some reason, nudity is perceived differently here than it is elsewhere, and I didn't want to lose any American audience that I was building.

Nudity doesn't scare me at all; the only thing about it is the perception by the audience.

I'm a big fan of moustaches. I think it's because - and this is not Freudian innuendo at all - my father has a moustache.

I think it's probably a bad idea for young boys to see how they're being depicted in men's fantasies. It could get very dark. You could learn how to do things wrong.
