Amanda Seyfried

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

I'm not a beautiful prom-girl type.

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

In early 1993, when I was 12, I was separated from my family as the Sierra Leone civil war, which began two years earlier, came into my life.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
