Amanda Bynes Quotations

This is how memories are made... by going with the flow.

I've worked really hard to get to where I am. Slow and steady wins the race, and I believe in paying your dues.

I get a script and it's really interesting with scripts, because you never really know. It's paper and it could be great or awful. Even scripts that are good could end up not working.

I loved 'Clueless.' That was one of my favorite movies of all time.

Being an actress isn't as fun as it may seem. If I don't love something, I stop doing it. I don't love acting anymore, so I've stopped doing it.

We try to magnify the difference between Americans and the English. In real life they like the same music and dress the same. It's really much more similar than anyone thinks or how we show it.

I love people who have goals. Somebody who's passionate about life and does their own thing.

Some people still see me as a kid, but I'm a 23-year-old woman now.

People have a preconceived notion about who I am and it's interesting. It's like picking who you want to win for the Oscars and not seeing the movie. Before you make a statement about someone, get all the information and see everything before you make a judgment.

I wear Spanx to smooth things out. I read that Jessica Alba wears them and if she wears them, then so should I.

Every person is so different and I don't think there is an exact match for every person. If you meet someone and they have 20 of the 25 things you want in a person, then you're pretty lucky.

Going to another country you're not in your house, you're with people you've never met before, and I think it's definitely a good growing experience.

Part of me relates to Perez Hilton because he's an outcast. I don't have a lot of friends who are actresses. They're catty, and they'll cut you down. I like that Perez is proud of who he is and doesn't care what anybody thinks.

I can't help but laugh at all of you writing fake stories about me. I was not in any hit and runs. I don't drink so the DUI is false.

I've never wanted to be the hottest star. I always wanted to do good movies.

I don't know if there is someone for everyone. Every person is so different and I don't think there is an exact match for every person. If you meet someone and they have 20 of the 25 things you want in a person, then you're pretty lucky.

I feel like people start to believe things that people say about them and start to think they're really important. If you have a family that is down to earth and cool, I don't see how you can be like that.

I don't want to be Marilyn Monroe. In many ways, that's a good comparison. Because Marilyn Monroe was a sexpot, all that stuff that I have no interest in. For me, it's much easier to just try to make people laugh than to try to be the hottest thing in the world.

I think that in Hollywood, it's hard because so many people do turn out crazy. I don't need to go out every night to get attention. I'm happy with the amount that I have.

I've grown up with kids watching me and as they're growing up, I'm growing up.

I don't like being compared to anyone or being in a class with someone. I'm a teen actress and therefore I'm competing against Hilary Duff. We're different people like everyone else.

I say I never wanna get married. I feel trapped with the idea of marriage. How can you really be with somebody forever? I'd get bored! As I get older, I don't settle. I'd rather tell somebody 'This is what I want - take it or leave it.

I never wanted to be a model. I never wanted to be a serious actress. I started off doing comedy. I did a stand-up comedy camp at the Laugh Factory, and I started out on Nickelodeon.

So many people comment that I'm much more mature than average. In this business, you can get taken advantage of if you're not aware and you're not tough.

When you're doing movies, you're traveling all over the world and you really can't be home.

I'm so protected in my Nickelodeon bubble and 'What I Like About You.' It's all pretty much the same people I've worked with and it was pretty protected.

It's really interesting with scripts, because you never really know. It's paper and it could be great or awful. Even scripts that are good could end up not working.

I have actor friends, but they're not famous. I feel like if you're an actor or - famous, you have to overly prove that you're a normal, cool person.

I think that the most important lesson is to be yourself, and that you can't change yourself for anyone else, ... I think a lot of girls try to do that for their boyfriends or their parents, so that's a strong message in this film.

That always baffles me. I think young girls look up to people who are older than they are, because you're always looking ahead.

I had a soccer double, but most of what is in the movie is me!

I want to be married and I want to be away from people.

It doesn't matter if you feel sexy if you don't look sexy.

I know who I am supposed to be with. Im just waiting until the time is right. I know what i want. I want to be so sure of everything in my life and be so good on my own that someone just comes in to compliment it. I want somebody who is happy. I dont want to meet someone who needs me. I want someone who is good on his own.

Every person is so different and I dont think there is an exact match for every person. If you meet someone and they have 20 of the 25 things you want in a person, then youre pretty lucky.

I did theater before I got into TV and everything I did was serious, so it was definitely fun for me to pull out those chops, I definitely wanted to do a movie that just wasn't comedy.

I think you have to embrace being a role model because you are in the public eye, and whether you like it or not, people are going to be affected by you positively or negatively, ... Public-wise, I really wouldnt do anything that would be detrimental to anybody else or to myself. And to a certain extent, I try to watch out and try not to do anything that would be bad for kids to see.

Not having hair makes me feel like a cancer patient.

...if I see something I don't like about a friend, I don't stick with that friend because I don't need them.

As I get older, I don't settle. I'd rather tell somebody 'This is what I want-take it or leave it.'

Somebody who's passionate about life and does their own thing.

I like jewellery because it's forever. Flowers die, chocolates get eaten and lingerie wears out in the wash. Plus, the girl is reminded of you every time she wears it. It's a wise move.

Yes! I'm also a big fan of the movie '10 Things I Hate About You,' which was also based on Shakespeare.

Well I loved the idea of playing a girl who dresses up like a dude ...

If you're not hot I don't care about you.

I'm far from perfect, but I'll be perfect for that imperfect person that's perfect for me.

I really enjoy acting, and whether it's TV or films, I feel lucky to be doing it at all. In the end, I'd love to do films, but I'm not going to work just to do work. I only want to do something that I feel right about.

I don't like the way I look in a car. The lighting is very bad.

Never Try To Ruin Someone.. That's Bad Karma.. Let Them Ruin Themselves The Victory Is That Much Sweeter. You Reap What You Sow!

Whatever is meant to be will be and you just have to trust that things happen for a reason. It's made handling disappointments that much easier because I just remember my mom's words and know that something better is meant to come my way.

I am very needy for friendship and I hate men. I want to f--- them, but I can now say I’m engaged — get away from me,

To an ant on the ground, an airplane probably looks like an ant.

I love Rihanna. She's such a beauty!

I want to be known for the work I've done, as opposed to where I go on Saturday nights...

I love making people who already hate me hate me more.

'Now I've tasted chocolate I'm not going back'. That's a great line. That's not me, that's all the writing. I mean it's like it doesn't matter who plays it, it's a great role. It's such a funny, tongue in cheek kind of great role.

I have no clue [why people say I'm insane]. Every time I've heard it, it came from an ugly person's mouth, so I don't care.

I Want A Million Dollars A Year For Illegally Having My Mind Read And Privacy Stolen

I don't care what you say about me if I don't find you physically attractive.

Chris Brown beat you because you're not pretty enough.

They realize that we're poking fun at the stereotype, ... I've talked with several British people and interviewers, and they all had a really positive take on the movie. I think that they're confident enough in themselves. Everybody seems to be enjoying it.

Everybody wants to be liked, fit in and make people laugh. I think we're not that different.

I know who I am supposed to be with. I'm just waiting until the time is right. I know what i want. I want to be so sure of everything in my life and be so good on my own that someone just comes in to compliment it. I want somebody who is happy. I don't want to meet someone who needs me. I want someone who is good on his own.

I like the dress-up part. In real life, I'm into sweats and never like that, but I do like to get dressed up - like most girls.

I'm the type of person who believes that everything happens for a reason and at the time that it's supposed to.

I remember people saying that they brought cousins or people to the set and they had no idea that was me. So, that was really cool. I was proud that we fooled people.

I definitely want to go to college, but I can't make any major decisions right now, ... When I'm at that point, I'll just see how I'm doing. If I have a couple of movies lined up, then I'll put it off a few months. People go to college to figure out what they want to do, and it seems silly to turn down work, for me, at least.
