Interview with Mandy Moore

People Magazine, February 8, 2003

All teen pop stars are not alike. Take Mandy Moore. Whether on her new concert tour, promoting her upcoming movie or hanging out with her hot-jock boyfriend, the 18-year old singer has steered clear of the tabloid excesses of her peers. Scoop caught up with Moore in Austin.

Your next film, Saved, comes out this summer, and it may be a bit controversial.

It's about these high school kids who are obsessed with Jesus. It's hilarious, but it's definitely not a movie that is poking fun at anyone. I'm sure it could be misconstrued.

Are you nervous about it? A little bit. There's going to be some heat. But it's all about doing something that is challenging.

Which do you find tougher, singing or acting? They're both challenging in different ways. Singing stretches you boundaries more because it's so personal. You're sharing a piece of yourself with everyone.

How do you know the Osbournes?

I met them a year ago at MTV Spring Break in Cancun. And they live about 10 minutes away from me in L.A. It's nice to have people my age that I can hang out with. They're so much fun.

You're dating Andy Roddick. What was your first impression of him? I thought he was very funny. He had a wonderful sense of humor. And he was tall. That's a big thing for me. I'm almost 5'10.

Were you attracted to him because he's a tennis player? I knew nothing about tennis until I met him. Now i'm so into it. During the Australian Open, it was horrible to be so far away, watching it delayed on TV.

Your hair color changes as often as the weather. I get bored easily. I love being a brunette.

Why? People approach me more. I didn't feel I was approachable as a blonde.

Note: The caption under the photo of her: "I don't think I have ever heard him call me Mandy," says Moore of her boyfriend Andy Roddick. "It's 'sweetie' or 'baby.'"
