Sweet, little Amanda Bynes is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of the men’s magazine Maxim. In her coverstory interview with the mag, Amanda expresses her desire for people to lose their impressions of her as a girl and see her as the grown 23-year old woman she has become. Here are a few excerpts from her Maxim interview:

Posing for us is the greatest Valentine’s Day gift we can imagine. Thank you!
I’m honored! I had the best time on this shoot. I think every shot I did was sexy. Some people still see me as a kid, but I’m a 23-year-old woman now.

You want to show the world you’re all grown up?
I want to show people who I am. My parents were like, “Does this mean you’re gonna do sexy movies now?” I said, “Well, if they’re done the right way, then maybe!” I mean, I’m not gonna do porn, but if it’s a Leonardo DiCaprio movie or whatever…

Oh, we get it. If a scene involves making out with Leo DiCaprio, then it’s OK?
Ha, yeah, then I wouldn’t mind! Point is, it’s time for me to start making my own decisions.

Kids these days … they do grow up so fast. In all honesty, Amanda looks really fantastic in her Maxim spread … the photos are whimsical, a bit sexy and not at all tacky … not too shabby for Maxim, I think. After the jump, check out a few of Miss Bynes‘s Maxim magazine photos …

Amanda Bynes makes the perfect girl to grace the February issue of Maxim, just in time for Valentine’s Day. What do y’all think of the pics, do we like?
