Amanda Seyfried - Page. TIMBERLAKE: It’s a free country—from what I’m told. But maybe this is a good opportunity then for us to go back to the beginning. You grew up in Pennsylvania? SEYFRIED: In Allentown, yes. TIMBERLAKE: How big is Allentown? SEYFRIED: It’s close to Philly. It’s the third largest city in Pennsylvania.

I played a little kick ball. I was sort of into everything because I had too much energy and I didn’t know where to put it. ![]() When I was a preteen, I got into singing, and became really obsessed with it. But then, of course, that didn’t work out. TIMBERLAKE: It sort of did. I mean, you’re getting opportunities to sing on film now in movies like Mamma Mia! SEYFRIED: That’s true. TIMBERLAKE: It’s funny to me that the industry is so split up now when it comes to acting and singing. ![]() I mean, if you look back to the entertainers of another era—the era of showmanship—all of those people, male and female, were skilled at both acting and singing. It was more about performing. ![]() It has probably had an effect on the way popular music has gone because a lot of the music that was from that era came from movies. SEYFRIED: I think my singing background has actually helped me tremendously. It certainly has something to do with why I am doing what I am doing today. So, obviously, it means something. But people just don’t seem to feel like it’s as important to have a variety of skills as a performer like that anymore. TIMBERLAKE: Obviously, I was always into performing when I was a kid because I started really young. You started young, too. But were your parents always supportive of your interest in being creative or performing? SEYFRIED: Oh, yeah. I honestly think they were as cool as parents get. They loved me being happy. They both worked, but they both had enough time to spend with me. So I didn’t really go into the arts for any specific reason. It was just to find a vessel for all of my energy. And also because I’m not good at anything else. I’m just really not equipped for, say, academics or sports. TIMBERLAKE: Well, you’re a hell of a knitter. SEYFRIED: I am. That’s kind of a fact. TIMBERLAKE: Do you think your parents liked that you were interested in performing because you were a hyper kid and they felt like that focused you more? Because I wasn’t a hyper kid. I was actually really shy. My mom makes a joke that she is shocked that I know what she looks like now because for the first eight or nine years of my life, all I did was walk around with my head down, looking at my feet. I was really shy until I found the stage. SEYFRIED: I’m glad you don’t have a neck problem. TIMBERLAKE: I do, actually. But that’s mostly because my head’s too big for my neck. She’s in a punk band in Philly called Love City. I saw them perform once. They’re not bad, if you like punk. TIMBERLAKE: Spoken like a true sister. But the musical talent runs in your family. SEYFRIED: Music was just something that we did. Like a lot of kids, we were forced to take piano lessons when we were younger. Mind you, it was the only thing that my parents forced us to do, because we wanted to quit and they said, “No, you keep going.”TIMBERLAKE: I actually ask a lot of musically inclined actors about this, but could you see yourself ever recording an album or trying on music for size in a bigger way? SEYFRIED: I have, in a way. I actually wrote a song with Damien Rice for Dear John. Damien never finished it—I mean, he might have, but he hasn’t sent it to me. It was about a year ago. I’m hoping to hear it someday. TIMBERLAKE: He’s brilliant. So it’s not just singing that you’re into, but actually writing music as well? SEYFRIED: I do enjoy the writing. I have written some songs, but I would really call what I’ve done poetry at the end of the day, because I’ll sit with my guitar for hours and hours on end for, like, a week and then I won’t touch it for a month. I also just have no confidence. I don’t have time, because I’d rather be doing other things, like knitting. TIMBERLAKE: Do you play any other instruments? Or just guitar? SEYFRIED: Guitar. I have a piano and I have a viola. I’m not going to tell you whether or not I can play it, but I do have one. TIMBERLAKE: Fair enough. Just owning one is a commitment. I am, though, curious about how actors who are into music relate to that kind of performing. I find it such a different experience to be on stage playing music and having that type of connection with an audience. SEYFRIED: Well, when you’re on stage as a musician, it’s just you, isn’t it? You’re in your own world. You decide how far you go. You decide everything. It must be hard for you, especially when you’re so used to performing in that kind of situation, to come into the situation of working on a film and lose all of that control that you’re used to having.
