Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Amanda was arrested by the Los Angelas Police Department on April 6th, 2012 on the suspicion of driving while under the influence.
  Edit Share Hide
- Although the casting crew knew right away that Amanda was perfect for the role of Penny in the film version of Hairspray, there were some initial issues with her singing voice. At first, she seemed to be holding back and lacking the confidence to belt out her musical numbers, and it took a while to help her grow more comfortable with that. Fortunately, over time, Amanda improved, and those involved in the production were pleased with her performance.
  Edit Share Hide
- Amanda donated items to Rocky Stone to be given to less fortunate kids as part of the Toy Mountain Campaign.

ADD QUOTES
- Amanda Bynes: (On turning 21) I think I'll go out as much as I've ever gone out, which is not a lot. I like to dance and stuff, but drinking isn't good for you in every way. It's not good for your skin; it makes you feel horrible. So, drinking-wise, no.
  Edit Share Hide
- Amanda Bynes: I enjoy doing things that are scary or things that some girls might not like because it won't let them look gorgeous. Like, in my new movie [She's the Man], I play a boy, and every day they'd pin my hair back, and I'd have no makeup. That's when you start relying more on your sense of humor.
  Edit Share Hide
- Amanda Bynes: I'm a good person, and I don't want to undermine anyone. I don't want to make anyone look stupid. I don't talk badly about people. I just try to be a nice girl, and that's the best way to stay out of it. Some people have such big egos that they have to knock people down just to get ahead. I'm just who I am, and I'm a person who's very lucky. But my life is my family, not my job. If it ever got too crazy I'd be like, "Okay, I'm checking out now!"
