Parenting Quote by Amanda Seyfried
“My mom can see whatever she pleases, but I actually gave strict rules to my father to not come. He would normally come to my premiere, and I am not comfortable with that. If he ever does see this film, he's gonna have to see it in clips. I just don't want to share it with him for a lot of obvious reasons.”
