fuckyeahollywood: Amanda Seyfried on Making a Romantic Comedy: “They Pay a Lot” You do seem to vary your choices of a lot. Well it’s the trick of making sure the audience will believe you in any form that they see you in. When I vary my roles, it allows them to lose themselves more, hopefully. I don’t want to become a brand and I certainly don’t want to have a persona. I don’t want to be in magazines everyday, because I don’t want people to get used to one thing. They may know my face, but I feel like Angelina Jolie can still play a character and you can still get lost in it… Even though she’s all over the place, and that’s unfortunate for her. But luckily she still maintains enough anonymity for us to believe her. Can a young actress really get away with swearing off romantic comedies? Well, it’s hard because they pay a lot of money. Sometimes, when you want to buy an apartment in Manhattan, you gotta do one or two. But in most cases you don’t need to be doing them—there are enough action flicks to keep you busy… no I’m kidding. Romantic comedies are great, though, if they’re done well. I love watching them; I just don’t necessarily love the process of making one. I like a small production company, a small set. That’s sometimes really wonderful. But if you’re working with a director who’s trusted by the studio, then you get to be freer. And I’m not bashing studios; it’s just a different way of making movies. It’s making movies for a different reason: for money. And that’s all great. We all want money. I mean, I love my apartment in New York.
