Amanda Bynes sets the record straight

For the record, Amanda Bynes has NOT retired and has no regrets for publicity she's received over her Twitter account.



She told People Magazine at the MTV Movie Awards:

"You say what you feel because you felt it at the moment."

"It's sort of like what I would tell a reporter if I were doing an interview," Bynes says. "You kind of have to let people know a little bit about you. And once you've been in the business for a long time, people kind of know stuff about your life."

Amanda also clarified her decision to take a break from Hollywood.

"I really just needed some time off. I've been acting since I was seven, and I'm 25 now. So, it's not retiring so much. It's just taking some time off."

2011 MTV Movie Awards

Amanda attended last night's MTV Movie Awards. She sparked up a trending topic on Twitter just seconds after working the red carpet in a Herve Legere dress, auqa shoes, and a clutch.
