In the interview, Amanda laughs when she's asked how she's managed to avoid becoming like other troubled starlets.
"It's shocking how it's become popular to go to rehab," she says. "It’s very odd. But I would guess I would say I’m very lucky. I have a great family, and I just have my eye on the prize, which, for me, is a long career. I don’t want to blow what I’ve worked so hard to achieve."
