Here are a few quotes from the interview as well – sounds like a good one!
On her outspoken personality: “I talk like I know what I’m saying, but I don’t.”
On being honest with herself: “I like the freedom of being exactly who I am. And that’s gotten me into trouble.”
On being told she needed to get botox: “I was like, Damn you! But we’re in Hollywood. I’m on a huge screen. With these new digital cameras, you can see the peach fuzz on my face.”
On being fired from her first-ever acting gig: “I was bad, I was really bad.”
On her love of the romantic comedies: “I don’t think I’m being very ‘artistic’ when I do them, but I’m not doing it for that reason. Romantic comedies make me happy. I watch Love Actually every Christmas.”
On her best on-screen kisses: “I can’t lie. It didn’t suck making out with Channing [Tatum] and Justin [Timberlake]. “
On who she would like to be paired up with next:< “I’d really love to make out with Michael Fassbender. Put me in a movie with that guy. I’m serious. Wow.”
Read the rest HERE at Elle. I have to say, I love the idea of her working with Michael Fassbender — fingers crossed it happens some day!

Amanda is featured in Newsweek and Catherine Hardwicke discusses “Red Riding Hood.” I love this photo so fingers crossed we’ll get outtakes!
On a gloomy and wet California day, director Catherine Hardwicke curls up in her office on the Warner Bros. lot with a book in her hand. This isn’t your average bedtime story. It’s called Little Red Riding Hood Uncloaked: Sex, Morality, and the Evolution of a Fairy Tale. She only recently discovered it, and she flips through the pages like a schoolgirl hyped on caffeine. “Maybe you like ‘Red Riding Hood’ when you’re 5,” Hardwicke says. “When you’re 10, you start latching on to it for another reason—why did she get in bed with the wolf?” Hardwicke even compares the beast to a love interest. “It represents a dark animal nature which is close to sexuality. In the traditional story, the wolf cross-dresses and lures her into bed. That’s pretty kinky right there! The wolf is the original tranny. What a kinky wolf!” Her entire face lights up. “A granny tranny!”

2011: Session 002 (Interview)
While the older generations might have their Audreys and their Marilyns, these days, the true litmus test of an actress’s broader youth-culture currency is not whether she’s commonly referred to by her first name only—it’s whether she has been deemed worthy of a moniker that’s an amalgam of her first and last names, like ScarJo and K-Stew and LiLo (not to mention K-Stew’s boyfriend, R-Patz). But collapsing one’s name isn’t a badge of approval so much as a mark of obsession. It doesn’t mean that you’re better at what you do than anyone else. It doesn’t mean that you’re unconditionally beloved. Rather, it signifies that you’ve become an object of fixation, which is usually preceded by some sort of professional watershed, or an association with an overwhelming cultural phenomenon, or because you’re frequently photographed looking shiny and heavy-lidded while straddling a banquet at Trousdale in a short skirt and stilettos, an unlit cigarette wedged backwards into the corner of your mouth.
So if you’ve seen the trailer for the new film Red Riding Hood—original Twilight (2008) director Catherine Hardwicke’s new gothic pastiche reimagining of the children’s fairy tale and other “My, what big teeth you have!” source material—then you understand why 25-year-old Amanda Seyfried is now perfectly positioned to become “AmSey” or “AmaSe” or, our personal favorite around the Interview offices, “MandaFried.” Appropriately, Red Riding Hood features a conspicuously Twilight-esque setup, set in a medieval village that has been engaged for decades in a mysterious arrangement with a homicidal entity known only as The Wolf (they bring the wolf periodic offerings of goats and other livestock; in exchange, he doesn’t kill anyone). The story is centered around Valerie (Seyfried), a young woman with a soft spot for red-hooded outerwear, who finds herself at the center of a love triangle, torn between her fiancée, Henry (Max Irons), and Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), her childhood best friend who has just returned to the village after a decade away. As Valerie and Peter discover their new, more adult feelings for one another, they plot to run away together. Simultaneously, The Wolf, whose identity remains elusive to the villagers, decides to break the détente, as Team Henry and Team Peter begin to form. Hyper-real, supernatural, grey-skied teen terror-love—the key elements of that rare clean-energy source that seems to fuel youth-culture mania in its most extreme forms—ensues.
