Amanda Seyfried refuses to give herself time off in between movies - because she has to distract herself from the "heartbreak" of leaving behind the bonds she's made on set.
The actress has been involved in nine film projects since 2009, and threw herself into shooting a new movie, titled Now, just days after wrapping upcoming blockbuster Red Riding Hood.
And she admits the pain of breaking away from pals she makes when filming forces her to quickly begin shooting her next project.
Seyfried tells Britain's Marie Claire, "Because you're afraid of having time alone, you want to distract yourself from the heartbreak of one relationship.
"That's why I go from movie to movie, it seems, because I want to distract myself from feeling really sad and having to disconnect from a family I've created.
"I'll just work right away. I literally left Vancouver and started (a) new project, Now, a week later."
Seyfried is back on the big screen later this year as she takes on the lead role in Catherine Hardwicke's version of Red Riding Hood.
Amanda Seyfried pairs her Nina Ricci dress and shoes with a Roshi belt in this sexy new spread for the March 2011 issue of Interview Magazine, on stands this week.
The 25-year-old actress is interviewed by her Now co-star Justin Timberlake. Here are some excerpts:
On working with brilliant people:
AS: I’m constantly attracted to people who are too smart for their own good and who have it all together, because I can’t relate to that, so I can just kind of jump on their train.
JT: And milk their genius for all you can.
On the decision to go into the arts:
AS: “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.”
On giving up control of your world as an actor and musician:
JT: “I actually find it liberating to give up control. It’s nice for me. What’s been more of a battle for me through- out the process of moving into acting is that I feel like I have to keep reassuring people that I’m not an a–hole. There is a stigma that comes from being on stage and being a musician… Whatever you do as a musician, no matter how good it is, somebody somewhere is going to s–t on it. You put your heart on your sleeve, and what will happen will happen. But it’s like that for any artist. You do a painting, you take a photograph, it’s the same. That’s how artistry works.”Tags:

Julianne Moore, in a black swimsuit, is the cover girl of the November issue of Allure.
In the interview she talks about aging, plastic surgery and kissing women.
(Remember the hot make out scene between her Amanda Seyfried, in Atom Egoyan's new psychological thriller 'Chloe’?
Seyfried recalls shooting nude scenes with Moore as something she'll never forget. She also said her dad is not allowed to see the steamy scene.)
On kissing men vs. women, Moore says, "I don't really think it's different kissing a woman vs. a man. I don't think it really is.
The difference is kissing someone you know versus someone you don't."
