- Amanda was featured on CBS's "Guiding Light".
- On the cover of 3 Francine Pascal books - they are; My mother was never a kid, Love & Betrayal & Hold the Mayo; My first love & other disasters (AKA the Victoria Martin Trilogy)
|
- (October 2008) in South Carolina filming _Dear John (2010/I)_ (qv).
|
- I love low-rise, boot-cut, perfect fitting jeans.
- I collect jeans. I don't care how expensive they are.
- 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.
- Jeans are just so sexy, there's something about them that turns me on, you know?
- (on plans for the future) If I came out with a club hit, if I were singing duets with Jesse McCartney, I think people would get the wrong idea. I'm not interested in fashion design. I'm an actress, and that's all I want to focus on. For me, that's just more fulfilling.
- (About the 2008 film _Mamma Mia! (2008)_ (qv)) I had never seen the stage show. When I first heard about the audition, I was like, "Damn, I'm not Greek!" I thought it was about this big Greek family.
- I do feel like I've grown up. Living by yourself in two cities, having a relationship, the Hollywood stuff. It forces you to deal with things as an adult.
- I just love to act and be on the set. I want to make acting my life and get really good roles.
- 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.
- At 11, I had a crush on 'Leonardo DiCaprio' (qv). Actually, it was not a crush. It was an obsession! I was also obsessed with 'Richard Dean Anderson' (qv) from MacGyver and Indiana Jones.
- 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.
- (On playing the lead role in _Mamma Mia! (2008)_ (qv)) It doesn't really get better than this. I'm afraid I'm going to just have to beg Meryl to do another movie with me. She's so in touch with herself. I know that comes with age, but I'm really excited to figure out who I am.
- 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.
- (about being in a polygamous marriage) I don't think I could share, no. I don't think I would trust. I want to be the most important thing in my husband's life. It's just weird. It's not natural.
- 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.
- People do judge you, and there are stupid rivalries. You have to wear the right things, because there are all these girls my age competing for the same roles. They're judging me and I'm judging them. I try not to be that way, but sometimes I am.
