Quote

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.

Anyone who falls in love is a freak. Its like a socially acceptable form of insanity.

I do believe that you don't have to act like a man to be strong. You can still be feminine.

I grew up as a Mormon, and that had more of an impact on my values than my beliefs. I'm afraid I will always feel the weight of a lie. I'm very hard on myself anyway. Religious guilt carries over too. You can't really misbehave without feeling badly about it. At least, I can't.

I always saw myself as more of a watcher, although I suppose my siblings might have a different viewpoint on it.
Amy Adams
Image
One of my least favorite things about being even remotely recognizable is that I'm not allowed to watch in the same way anymore. You try not to hide from the world because you want to still participate and still be inspired by what's around you.

I've always really loved action films, but I don't see myself as a superhero girl.
Amy Adams
Image
I always want to defeat supervillains - it's just the chicken-and-broccoli diet that I'm not into.
