Amy Adams Quotes
"I don't know if it's the nomination or the attention that it brought to Junebug, but it also I think brought people's attention to my previous work. I got a long time without people making the connection to all my different films and all my different acting things so I think it's the firs time where I was really identified. I think it absolutely has brought amazing opportunities and introduced me to so many people and it was just a really wonderful experience."Dark Horizons: Interview with Amy Adams (November 21, 2007) -
