Quotes

Amy: (about meeting her very young Enchanted fans who think she's really a princess) I'll introduce myself as Amy, and I'll be very kind to them, of course. I would have loved to meet Julie Andrews when I was a kid, and I'm sure she would have been lovely, and that's my intention now, as well. (edit)
Amy: I am completely open to dying my hair from a role. If you look closely, my Enchanted character Giselle had blonde hair for a second. I am happy that Disney agreed with me that I looked much better as a redhead. When I died my hair red the first time, I felt as if it was what nature intended. I have been accused of being a bit of a spitfire, so in that way, I absolutely live up to the stereotype. The red hair suits my personality. I was a terrible blonde! (edit)
Amy: (about her role in Enchanted) I was a real dork in high school, singing up and down the hallways, so all I can say is that I was well-studied! (edit)
Amy: (On her favorite Disney princess) I like Cinderella, I really do. She has a good work ethic. I appreciate a good, hard-working gal. And she likes shoes. The fairy tale is all about the shoe at the end, and I'm a big shoe girl. (edit)
Amy (On what she thinks she is best known for) It depends on who you ask. A lot of people say Catch Me If You Can, but then there are diehard Buffy fans, where nothing exists except my guest spot on Buffy. (edit)
