Amy Adams in May’s W Magazine!

Adams Adams talks about being uncool, why she is putting off wedding plans and how she went from Gap employee to movie star.
ON ATTENDING THIS YEAR’S ACADEMY AWARDS AS A NOMINEE…
“I just was so reflective the whole evening on how I came to be sitting in that room. At one point my fiancé was like, ‘You feel distant.’ And I said, ‘I am! I can’t even talk to you!’ I was there at the Oscars thinking, What if I never left the Gap?”
ON STRIVING TO BE ONE OF THE “COOL” GIRLS IN HIGH-SCHOOL…
“I’d hated school. The people were indifferent toward me, and that’s the worst thing in my mind. We were defined by the clothes we bought at the mall. If I didn’t get things on clearance, I wasn’t getting them. I would make fake Guess jeans by buying a cheaper brand with a triangle label and then cutting it off so you could still see the triangle outline. It’s so sad that I did that! But I really wanted to be one of those girls.”
ON HAVING YET TO PLAN HER WEDDING WITH FIANCE FOR ALMOST A YEAR, ACTOR DARREN LE GALLO…
“I have a reputation as a poor planner, so expectations are pretty low. When I have people to my house for dinner and tell them it’s casual, they think that means don’t wear high heels, but I mean, ‘You’ll be getting your own forks out of the drawer.’”
ON LANDING A JOB AT THE GAP WHEN SHE WAS 18 YEARS OLD…
“[It was] a huge deal, because with the 40-percent-off discount I could finally buy things that weren’t on sale!”
