Amanda Setton

Amanda:(About "The Passion of the Christ") It was unbelievable. The music, the cinematography, the acting, oh my God, the acting - all the artistic elements were amazing. There was even a point where I could barely breathe. But the story is very anti-Semitic when it didn't need to be.

Amanda: (On being recognized for Gossip Girl) I've been recognized, and I have been hounded a couple of times, but I can't imagine being Blake [Lively] or Leighton [Meester] or Chace [Crawford]. It's just insane for them.

Amanda:(On acting in college) I started getting my hands on any projects I could find. A lot of my friends were film students so we'd get together and mess around with a camera in the [Garden Apartments]. I did as much as I possibly could to gain more experience on how my angles were on camera and what lighting worked best.

Amanda: (About her character in the second season of Gossip Girl) Penelope will be back in action. She's vicious as ever.

Amanda:(On being in the "Sex and the City" movie) It was an incredible experience to even be on that set just for one day.

Amanda Setton:(About the Meisner technique) It has helped me to not run away from my feelings and lay them on the line. It also has allowed me to be much more aware and in touch with my feelings. I mean, it's not therapy, but it's a close second!
