Actress Quote by Amanda Seyfried
“If I didn't run and work out, there's no way I would be this thin. But I have to stay in shape because I'm an actress. It's fucked up and it's twisted, but I wouldn't get the roles otherwise. If I'd been a bit bigger, I don't think they would have cast me for 'Mamma Mia!'”
