(CNN) -

We make it a point to watch "Mean Girls" whenever it pops up on TV, so we're happy to hear that Amanda Seyfried loves it just as much as we do.

The actress starred in the 2004 pop culture classic as the ditzy Karen Smith, something of a breakout role for the then 18-year-old Seyfried. (And the golden note for most of us when it comes to Lindsay Lohan's career, but we digress.)

With the Oscar-nominated "Les Misérables" and now "Lovelace" (the biopic of adult film actress Linda Lovelace) under her belt, Seyfried recognizes how far she's come from telling the weather with her breasts.

"It's been such a slow move for me," Seyfried told IndieWire. "I've just worked a long time. I've gotten a lot of cool opportunities here and there and I've made some good choices with the help of my amazing team. ... I still look back at 'Mean Girls' as my best work."

Reason being, she continued, is because she "was so innocent. I was so green. I look back and I'm like, 'Really, I thought I was doing a terrible job.' But it was written so well and so wonderfully directed. [Director] Mark Waters made me look good; he made me funny. And Tina Fey wrote the coolest script of all time."
