Amy Adams guesses lines from 'Arrival', 'Man of Steel', working with Tom Ford on 'Nocturnal Animals' and talks how she got into acting.
Is the answer also on there so I can cheat?
Why can't I think of this?
This is making me crazy. I know this one.
Yes, that's it.
Oh, I know this one.
You need to rush to her side and pull her in your arms
and then pour your heart out in a beautiful ballad.
It's Enchanted. Sorry.
You need to rush to her side and pull her in your arms
and then pour your heart out in a beautiful ballad.
It was one of those dream come true moments for myself
when he's like, I want you to run over the hill
kind of like Julie Andrews in Sound of Music.
I was like, oh, dreams do come true.
What's the S stand for?
That is for Man of Steel.
She was pretty cheeky when she said this line.
I didn't quite realize I sounded that cheeky
until I watched it back.
What's the S stand for?
I always sort of pretended to play her
when I was watching Margot Kidder.
I had a lot of brothers and there was a lot of underoos.
I don't know if you guys remember underoos.
They looked like superheroes
and they were like these pajamas slash underwear sets.
So there was a lot of like towel capes
and I would be like, well, I'm Lois Lane.
I was always Lois Lane.
So it was something that I'd always wanted to do.
And then when Zach approached me,
I was like, yes, yes, absolutely.
I know this one too.
Oh, stop calling me an MTV girl,
whatever the fuck that means.
That's from The Fighter
because Mickey's sisters call me an MTV girl,
whatever the fuck that means.
Stop calling me an MTV girl,
whatever the fuck that means.
I ran out of swear words.
There was one point where I was leaning outside of the window
swearing at Christian Bale's character Dickie
and David O. Russell was just like,
think of some more.
And across the street,
they actually had hired a pastor
to be the pastor walking the dog.
And I just kept being like,
sorry, father, sorry, father.
I mean, just in that scene,
I was like 10, 20, 30, maybe.
I'm not sure, but a lot.
Thank you.
Now that's a proper introduction.
That is from Arrival.
Now that's a proper introduction.
That scene, I wasn't looking at anything.
I had a piece of glass that I had to put my hand on,
but Denis did such a great job
sort of drawing the intimacy of the relationships
that we were developing with Abbott and Costello
and developing a sense of awe
and kind of understanding of where they were
at any given moment.
So we were just all in this like
really beautifully meditative space while making it.
Oh, I bet she is thin.
I bet she's prettier than I am too.
Now I'm going to hate her.
Can't wait.
That's Junebug.
I bet she is thin.
I bet she's prettier than I am too.
Just went through kind of a hard time
figuring out how I would fit life into work development
and was putting so much time and energy
into I think stuff I couldn't control really.
And I realized it's not worth losing myself
to try to pursue something.
So when I booked Junebug,
it really felt like I found myself in that role in a way.
I was able to dive into something
that felt very authentic and very familiar to me.
And it kind of helped me find my way back to myself,
not only as an artist, but just as a person
and into like balance and community.
Do you ever feel like your life has turned
into something you never intended?
I know this.
And for some reason,
you feel like your life has turned
into something you never intended.
Why can't I think of this?
This is making me crazy.
I know this one.
Hold on.
Why can't I think of it?
But why did my brain stop working?
I absolutely remember saying this line.
And for some reason I'm like,
has the movie come out?
Yes, that's it.
Sorry, Tom.
I could see it.
I just couldn't say it.
Do you ever feel like your life has turned
into something you never intended?
So I love fashion,
but I'm just a lot more casual of a person,
I suppose in my day-to-day life.
But with him, I think the thing that I love
so much about working with him
is he infuses himself into each of the characters
in a certain way.
Watching him gave me sort of an understanding
of how he saw the character
because he would almost play it
through his direction.
And it was really wonderful to participate in
because it gave me such a different sensibility
and posture and a different perspective
on the character getting to watch him
and have the conversations with him about her.
So that was what I loved a lot.
And he also like reads really beautifully.
He would always be like,
is that how you read?
Because I'd be reading.
He's like, that's how you're going to read.
Sorry.
And so, yes, he reads with a beautiful long neck.
Thank you.
Otherwise, I would have looked like this
in nocturnal looks.
Ah, yeah.
You're nothing to me until you're everything.
That's American Hustle.
I say it to Christian Bale.
I'm wearing a beautiful white coat and a hat.
You're nothing to me until you're everything.
I think I have one of the dresses I wore at the disco,
but I never really wear anything I wear
as a character again.
I feel like once I play that character,
well, that's not entirely true.
I have some shoes that I borrowed from a couple of sets.
I'm not stealing anything.
I'm not that person.
No, this sounds weird.
I'm not getting out of this.
I'm like, I borrowed them.
You know, it was interesting
because she was so kind of wounded
and in a really vulnerable place
and like required in the way that David works
is very immediate and present.
So it just is very immersive.
So sometimes that can get intense, you know?
So luckily I had my daughter at home.
So, you know, at the end of the day,
there's nothing like your kids
to pull you out of work in that way.
I think people buy art because it touches them.
I think this is Big Eyes.
Yeah.
I think people buy art because it touches them.
That's the shoes that I have.
It's the sandals she wears, a little tie back.
And I still have them
and I have worn them all the way out.
I haven't painted in a while.
I can paint, not well,
but I do love to push around the acrylics
every once in a while.
Let's be honest, it was like a paint by numbers.
What I really liked is she held her brush
in a very specific way.
And in holding the brush in that way,
I discovered I could actually draw
and write and paint differently.
And I guess I had always been,
when do we ever think really
about how we are holding a pencil?
So when I changed the way I held things,
it was a much more fluid line.
It's unsettling to look at people with suspicion.
I feel less close to God.
That's doubt.
It is unsettling to look at people with suspicion.
I feel less close to God.
She's wonderful.
She's professional.
She's a leader.
She's a mentor.
She's kind of set a bar for me,
not only as an actress,
but as all of those things,
as a professional, as a mentor.
You know, aside from the obvious ability
that she has as an actor,
she just has this ability with humans
to just kind of infuse them
with her warmth and her intelligence.
It's just wonderful to be around.
Oh, what is this one?
Put them in the wash.
They'll be grand.
Okay.
Just because of the wording,
I'm thinking it's leap year.
Okay, good.
Good, good, good.
Okay.
I was like, they'll be grand.
That's gotta be Irish.
Yeah.
Put them in the wash.
They'll be grand.
I worked in Ireland on a couple of things,
but most recently on Disenchanted.
And I worked closely with a young woman named Eve.
And she's like, don't.
Just don't.
Please don't do it.
It started because I was saying things like,
about the crack or the crack.
And she's like, just don't.
Don't try to do it, Amy.
Yeah.
I mean, I love Dublin.
I like all the other towns,
but at the time in my life,
it was just so magical to be there
with my now husband.
He came over and exploring Dublin.
Okay.
Oh, I'm signing up
because I always watch the pageants on TV
and my boyfriend thinks I'll win.
That is my very first film,
which was Drop Dead Gorgeous.
I promise I don't watch my films over and over again.
I'm not sure how I'm remembering all of this
because I literally watched them like
once or twice years later.
You know, I always watch the pageants on TV
and my boyfriend thinks I'll win.
I mean, since I've always been into the arts
and I actually wanted to be a doctor,
but I couldn't pass chemistry.
Spent a little bit of time devastated
and then sort of like leaned into
the performance aspect of my life
and started as a dancer
and kind of realized that
the thing that I leaned into as being a dancer
was like expression and the storytelling.
And so I think that led naturally to acting.
So I was actually working
at a dinner theater in Minnesota
when I was cast in Drop Dead Gorgeous.
But I never thought that I would come out here
and be lucky enough to have the career that I've had
and work with the people I've worked with.
That wasn't on my radar.
I had no idea what I was doing,
but I had a lot of fun.
