"I'm convinced people are just going to go, 'Where's Mila?' And listen she's got a lot of fans," she told the women's magazine.

Maybe he's just laughing to make me feel good but I genuinely seem to make him laugh and that brings me a good amount of joy."

"I realized that if I really wanted to work forever I was going to have to make the right decisions.… That's why I've made some tough decisions too, I've turned down some pretty big stuff. I didn't want to be an action hero or in a f**king green suit for like, 10 years, because I don't want to be miserable. I think happiness comes from being free."

Seyfried constantly works on her happiness, and admits that she's been to therapy.
