Quotes by Amanda Bynes
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 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’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.
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.
When you’re doing movies, you’re traveling all over the world and you really can’t be home.
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.
