I was a pretty scrappy, tough kid I got in all sorts of fights at school. I defended myself - boys didn't mess with me. But as one of seven children, you have to fight for everything anyway.

More quotes by Amy Adams
Falling in love is a crazy thing to do. It's kind of like a form of socially acceptable insanity.
Amy Adams
If I had a project that I had auditioned for and I was getting close to getting it, I didn't want to tell anybody because I thought then I wouldn't get it, but in reality that really had no bearing on whether or not I got a part.
Amy Adams
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.
Amy Adams
I always saw myself as more of a watcher, although I suppose my siblings might have a different viewpoint on it.
Amy Adams
I always have directors who are somewhat frustrated because they'll reference a beautifully obscure film from the '50s or '60s or '70s, and I've not seen it.
Amy Adams
I thought 'Out of Africa' would be a beautiful ballet.
Amy Adams
Find out who you are & embrace it. It's so much easier to face criticism when you are comfortable in your own skin.
Amy Adams
I do believe that you don't have to act like a man to be strong. You can still be feminine.
Amy Adams
In high school, I was so painfully self-aware that how I thought of myself was probably very different from what other people thought of me. I thought of myself as just painfully awkward and dorky. I had a lot of hair and was kind of weird. I sang a lot in the hallways.
Amy Adams
I tend to be really pragmatic, but ultimately tend to be attracted to people who pull me into more spontaneity. I've really learned that, through surrender, the best experiences of my life have happened.
Amy Adams
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. I was like, 'Look, I can carry a baby! I'm gaining weight right, everything's going well.' And I've had that relationship ever since.
Amy Adams
It's always challenging when you're shooting a film. Shooting things out of order and keeping continuity on all levels is always for me the most challenging thing.
Amy Adams
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.
Amy Adams
Some of these actresses or public personas who are very public about their disciplined diets, more power to them. I just don't see the point. Do you know, the people I love as actresses, I've never, ever sought out pictures of them to see what they look like in a swimsuit.
Amy Adams
I find that it's the simple things that remind you of family around the holidays.
Amy Adams
If you're not excited by it, why do you do it?
Amy Adams
I have to say I've been lucky in that way in that I've been able to go from different films and different genres with different challenges.
Amy Adams
I can be very polite, and I think that people can confuse that for all sorts of things... But I'll take that over people assuming that I'm smart just because I'm short and rude.
Amy Adams
I had an existential crisis at the Oscars, sitting next to Sean Penn and Meryl Streep, and being like, 'What am I doing here? I don't belong here'. I felt like it could all be taken away.
Amy Adams
A man who's powerful and strong yet is able to show tenderness and vulnerability, that's really sexy.
