Who better to tell us about the state of Amanda Bynes but Amanda Bynes herself?

The former actress chatted with People magazine over the phone and told the folks there that she's "doing amazing."

The 26-year-old, who has found herself in a whole lot of headlines for her erratic behavior, doesn't seem to be phased by the bad press.

"I am retired as an actor. I am moving to New York to launch my career. I am going to do a fashion line," she said. (People notes that she was polite, respectful and upbeat on the phone). "I am not talking about being arrested for DUI because I don't drink, and I don't drink and drive. It is all false."

Despite her cool demeanor, friends and family are still worried about the retiree.

Rumor has it Amanda's parents have relocated from Texas to Los Angeles to be near their daughter.

"People around Amanda are really concerned about her," a source who has spent time with Amanda in recent months tells the magazine. "She tells people she doesn't party or drink. She doesn't realize she has a problem."
