Amy Adams

I come from musical theater, and a lot of musical theater is about accepting fantasy. I think it is more about just being open and accepting. ”

As an actress people always tease me like: if there's anything you can do to make yourself unattractive you will do it. ”

I like not being noticed. It has been a struggle because I love performing, but if I'm in a group of people and someone has a bigger personality, I'm like, 'Go ahead, and have fun!' ”

Being pregnant finally helped me understand what my true relationship was with my body - meaning that it wasn't put on this earth to look good in a swimsuit. ”

When I was younger, my sister thought it was funny to pretend to punch me in the face because my mom was concerned about my teeth falling out. They were loose for a long time, and she knocked out my teeth. ”

I love accents - I wish I could find an accent for every one of my characters. It makes it so much easier when I don't have to hear my own voice. ”

I'd love to be a diva. But I'd then have to send so many apology notes for my abhorrent behaviour. ”

I do love shoes that make my legs longer. I have the upper body of someone who's 5ft 8in, so high heels help me even out the discrepancy. ”

I graduated high school and I didn't have a skill set and I didn't want to go to college. I needed a job. ”

I have a hard time articulating the emotional experience of working on a film. Even when I have meetings on films or discussing them with directors, I find that's my biggest challenge. Different words mean different things to people. ”
