Amy Adams roles
Amy Adams's Quotes
- I have worked with some of the meanest people in the world. You can't do anything to intimidate me.
- I think that I've always been attracted to characters who are positive and come from a very innocent place. I think there's a lot of room for discovery in these characters and that's something I always have fun playing.
- [on singing at the Academy Awards] It's nerve-wracking! I'll be up there, singing the song in front of billions of people - oh, and Daniel Day-Lewis! And Cate Blanchett. I'll be going to Taco Bell when the ceremony is over. Mexican food cures me.
- [on being stereotyped as the naΓ―ve one] Not at this point. Right now, I'm just doing what I enjoy and I've done some different films, I've done some different types of roles.
- [on working at The Gap] Whitney Houston came in. Someone dared me to do "the Gap act" on her. You know, the Gap act. So I went up to her like I didn't know who she was, and I said, "Hi, I just wanted to let you know about our sale items and make sure to check out our new colors." She looked at me like I was crazy.
