A few months ago, Rachel McAdams revealed her favorite "Mean Girls" quote -- "I don't think my father, the inventor of Toaster Strudel, would be too pleased with this" -- which came as a surprise since it's a line uttered by Gretchen Wieners (Lacey Chabert) rather than Regina George (McAdams).
In a new interview with Digital Spy, Amanda Seyfried names her favorite quote from the film, and based on her response, it's clear that Seyfried realizes the hilarity of her own character, the "blissfully ignorant" Karen Smith.
"'If you're from Africa, why are you white?' is the best line ever," Seyfried said when asked to pick her favorite quote from "Mean Girls," which turned 10 last month. The "A Million Ways to Die in the West" actress also addressed the potential of a reunion, saying she'd love to reprise the story in a "Saturday Night Live" sketch, but is worried it would fall short of expectations.

"I would do that in a million years, but I would fear that it wouldn't be funny. What if it wasn't funny?" Seyfried said. "So I think the mystery, or the idea of it, is sometimes better than actually following through. If [writer Tina Fey] is not on board or if she doesn't have anything for us to do, then I don't think we should, because that was designed by her and it would have to be designed by her again."
If you haven't been living in a cave for the past decade, the chances are you might have even a passing knowledge of what happened to Lindsay Lohan post-'Mean Girls'. It looked like the star was destined for big things, with leading roles in 'Herbie: Fully Loaded' and 'Georgia Rule', but reports of unprofessional behaviour on set mixed with struggles with addiction and other problems in her personal life meant Lindsay ended up on a well-publicised downward spiral. However, things are looking up for Lindsay. She received positive reviews for her portrayal of Elizabeth Taylor in 'Liz & Dick' and Oprah has given the 27-year-old her own reality show on the OWN network. Will 2014 be her year?
Rachel McAdams - Regina George
Rachel McAdams was a virtual unknown when she was cast as Regina George, but being part of two of 2004's biggest films ('Mean Girls' and 'The Notebook') catapulted her to stardom. Since then Rachel has taken more serious roles in films like 'Red Eye' and 'Midnight In Paris' - but to us she'll always be the ruler of the Plastics...
Lizzy Caplan - Janis Ian
"Nice wig, Janis. What's it made of?" "Your mom's chest hair." Lizzy played plucky outcast Janis Ian in 'Mean Girls', who sought revenge on Regina George for humiliating her earlier in her life. Who could forget her Immediately after 'Mean Girls' the actress had a few small roles, but since then has had a resurgence thanks to her appearances in '127 Hours' and the sitcom 'New Girl'. She received critical acclaim for her portrayal of Virginia Johnson in 'Masters of Sex', alongside Michael Sheen.

Lacey Chabert - Gretchen Wieners
Her credits before 'Mean Girls' included ' 'Family Guy' (she was the original voice of Meg before Mila Kunis took over) and even a stint on Broadway as a child, but Lacey has never really managed to top her role as Gretchen Wieners. Perhaps that what she gets for trying to make "fetch" happen...
Amanda Seyfried - Karen Smith
Her role as dumb girl Karen "She Asked Me How To Spell 'Orange'" Smith was actually a fairly minor one, despite her status as one of the Plastics. Who would have thought that it would be Amanda who would go on to claim the leading role in what would become the highest grossing film in UK history? Of course, this statistic becomes less impressive when you remember the film in question was 'Mamma Mia!'...
Tina Fey - Ms. Norbury
As well as starring as Maths teacher Ms. Norbury in 'Mean Girls', Tina Fey actually wrote the film herself. After the film was a hit, she went on to create and star in the sitcom '30 Rock', playing the character Liz Lemon who is now her most recognisable role. She also starred in 'Date Night' with Steve Carrell, and appears in the upcoming 'Muppets Most Wanted'.
Jonathan Bennett - Aaron Samuels
Jonathan is one of the few stars to have more or less gone off the radar since 'Mean Girls'. We're not exactly sure why, he can act and he isn't exactly difficult to look at, either. He also wins the award for 'Best Twitter Bio': "I get it...my hair looks sexy pushed back." He's currently the host of the MTV show 'Copy Cat'.

Amy Poehler - 'Mrs. George'
Amy played Regina George's cringey mum in 'Mean Girls', when in fact she's only 7 years older than actress Rachel McAdams. A renowned comedic actress, Amy and fellow 'Saturday Night Live' and 'Mean Girls' star Tina Fey have hosted the Golden Globes together for the past two years. Amy also plays the lead role of Leslie Knope in the quirky American sitcom 'Parks and Recreation'.
Daniel Franzese - Damian
Far from his role as Damian in 'Mean Girls', Daniel Franzese has gone on to star in gritty films such as 'Bristol Boys' and the beautifully named 'I Spit On Your Grave'. He's also now an art curator, having overseen art shows largely based around pop culture and fame. However, it is still not yet known whether Lindsay Lohan ever gave him his pink shirt back...
Tim Meadows - Principal Duvall
One of the longest-running cast members on 'Saturday Night Live', Tim Meadows has starred in 'Grown Ups', 'Walk Hard' and Tina Fey's sitcom '30 Rock'. He's also the only 'Mean Girls' star to appear in the ill-fated and critically panned sequel 'Mean Girls 2', where he reprised his role as the principal at Northshore High. The actor broke his wrist shortly before filming 'Mean Girls', which is why they incorporated into the story that he suffered from Carpal tunnel.
