Fashion icon Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 As a child, did you know a lot of fairy tales, and did they ever scare you? Amanda Seyfried: I was afraid of fairy tales, but I’d heard them all. I had this Teddy Ruxpin tape player, and I had three tapes, one story on each side, and they were all narrated by this British man. They were very scary… I listened to them a lot to go to sleep at night, and then I’d have nightmares. I was so mean to myself. It’s probably why I was so afraid of everything. But the Brothers Grimm stories are very, very dark. Psychologically, they’re just intense. As much as they were meant for children, I don’t think children should be reading the original stories. I guess I don’t get what’s implied, when you’re three, you don’t get that there are sexual undertones. You get a lot of sexual symbolism… It’s just very dark.What attracted you to playing the character? AS: The opportunity to play an iconic figure. And I thought that the script was really good. The whodunit aspect of it was well written. Nobody could really figure out who the wolf was. It’s good writing, if you can keep that under wraps.Did you have to fight to get the role? AS: Nope. It’s kind of boring when you don’t fight. It just happened, it was too easy. I’m in the process of fighting for a role right now, and if I get it it’ll be that much more fun.If you had two guys fighting over you, which one would you choose? In cinema we usually go for the wild one…AS: You’re right. I think whoever gets my blood going more… I this age I don’t see myself going for the safe choice. Right now what’s important to me is experiencing passion. Someone, no matter wonderful they are, if I don’t feel it in my bones, then I’m probably going to overlook it… for now.Have you ever acted roles for the money, then hated it? AS: Kind of… But not hated it. I’ve never hated anything I’ve done. The experiences I’ve had were very unique. Its not secret that I got a really big pay cheque for Letters To Juliet. It ended up being one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I was living in Italy with Gary Winick (the director), who became a close friend, and Caroline Kaplan. It ended up becoming part of my life, and making it better. And it was a love story I wanted to do, and I loved Gary.Did you do anything stupid with that kind of money? AS: No. I bought a house though. Letters To Juliet was my apartment in New York… All My Children was a pair of shoes, because I was young and I didn’t really make any money. But my LA house is Red Riding Hood.How far would you if a director wanted you to change something about your face or our body for a role? AS: If a director wanted me to change something about my face, I’d be like ‘fuck off’. But if I had to go any thinner, I wouldn’t, I mean that’d be stupid. And I wouldn’t gain weight either. I’m just not into that. It really fucks up your immune system, it’s not worth it. I guess I’d consider botox…How does working in film compare with working in television? AS: Well, it’s over now, but television is faster, there’s less attention to every detail. But it doesn’t feel that much different.What importance does a film like Mamma Mia have for you? AS: The first thing I think about is that it really did bring joy to the world. It did. It’s a silly movie, but it was very successful in making people feel good about themselves, in their lives. They watch it over and over again, because they want that excitement, they want that high. A two-hour movie can transfer you to this whole other world… The enjoyment the audience gets from the movie is almost the same as what I had in my life at that time. I was really living with Meryl Streep, on a Greek island, in love. And I was getting to do I love most, which is singing.We’re seeing quite a few live action fairy tales with a twist coming up, why do you think Hollywood is getting these films out now? AS: I think it’s the whole supernatural thing, with Twilight, and vampires, and werewolves, and ghosts… That is just inspiring because its part of a different world where there is no real danger in our own lives. I think the supernatural thing is very interesting, and you can do so much as a filmmaker and an actor with that idea. And then fairy tales have a very similar quality, and we all know them. I think all the producers are just seeing dollar signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
