Mandy Moore is tired of being the girl next door and refuses to take on any more "wallflower" roles.
She tells Marie Claire magazine, "That won't cut it anymore. I don't want to be a wallflower. I don't want to be shy. Give me the opportunity to get in the room and have a conversation as to why I know I can do this.
"It's OK that you see me as this person, but I'm an actress, and I'll work my a** off to play the part."
But that doesn't mean Moore will take on just any role: "It has to be right. I've had the opportunity to play the drug dealer who gets gang-raped, and I'm like, for what reason? Doing it just to do it? To just show people that I can be sexy or dark?
"I don't want to do something just to make that point. It needs to happen organically and I'm really confident it will. I'm a pretty patient person, and I'll wait until we find the right stuff."
Sounds like she's being a little too picky. She hasn't worked since 2007 and her clothing line recently went kaput, so maybe she should take what she can get!
