Amy Adams Quotations

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 (On working at The Gap).

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 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.

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.

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

I always had a larger view. I'm interested in real life - my family, my friends. I have tried never to define myself by my success, whatever that is. My happiness is way beyond roles and awards.

Moving out to L.A. for me was a leap of faith. I was very secure in my dinner theater world; I loved it, and I was just like, 'I think there's something else out there for me and I just have to go for it.'

Falling in love is a crazy thing to do. It's kind of like a form of socially acceptable insanity.

You're nothing to me until you're everything

I like Cinderella - she has a good work ethic and she likes shoes.
