Snowboarding is Amanda's winter sport of choice

From OK Magazine:

“I've actually only snowboarded once but I've skied seven times,” she tells OK! at the opening of the new Burton store in West Hollywood. “I look forward to snowboarding in the future. It's a cooler sport."

She may want to prepare her body for it though. Declaring herself to be “not athletic,” Amanda confesses she’s not often found breaking a sweat at the gym.

“I try but not really,” she says. “I try to walk instead of drive. Yoga if I can.”

As for her career, there may be another musical in sight for the 21-year-old if she gets her wishes.

“I would love to work with Baz Luhrmann or Tim Burton. They’re so creative and artsy. Baz is exciting.”
