Seyfried: "I'm trouble, but in a good way."
Seyfried: "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."
Seyfried: "I never saw myself going to college. Even when I was looking at different schools, I was like, this really isn't right."
Seyfried: "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"
Seyfried: "I just can't wait for the future."
Seyfried: "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."
Seyfried: "I like to keep people guessing."
Seyfried: "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.'"
Seyfried: "When you start using test audiences, it becomes more scientific than it is about the work itself, and that's boring."
Seyfried: "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."
Seyfried: "I always wanted to make people feel something."
Seyfried: "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."
Seyfried: "I went to four different proms in high school. I was addicted to the whole ballroom thing."
Seyfried: "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."
Seyfried: "I don't want to become a brand and I certainly don't want to have a persona."
Seyfried: "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."
Seyfried: "Perfect is boring."
Seyfried: "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."
Seyfried: "It's just like my dream to shoot things with no consequences."
Seyfried: "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."
Seyfried: "It's sad, actually, because my anxiety keeps me from enjoying things as much as I should at this age."
Seyfried: "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."
Seyfried: "I have to feel good on the inside to look glamorous."
Seyfried: "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?"
Seyfried: "I think I'm past the age of getting lost."
Seyfried: "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."
Seyfried: "I guess I would ideally want to be 20 physically, but 40 mentally."
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."
Seyfried: "It was a big deal to me to play characters and feel things and connect to somebody in a fake world."
Seyfried: "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."
Seyfried: "If you can't pronounce a word correctly, just don't use it."
Seyfried: "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."
Seyfried: "I found a lot of fairy tales scary. They really didn't sit well with me."
