Mandy Moore is featured in the July 2007 issue of Blender Magazine.
On being suggestive for her first music video “Candy”: “It’s funny: I think that was my sexiest time, at 15 — my gawky body, swaying like a little stick figure. My most overtly sexy thing was the first one, right off the bat. [makes fake-sad face, pulls the sides of her mouth down] And from there it was aaallll covered up. I went from being a child to making love on the floor. There was no intermediate step.”
On being forced into being a cookie-cutter pop singer: “How accountable can you really be when you’re a kid in an adult world? There was no way they were going to give me any say over my music or my image at that point. But even at the time, I was like, ‘Oh, gosh, I really don’t like this song … ’”
On her brief but public fling with DJ AM: “It was a nanosecond!”
