Actress Amy Adams graces the cover of the latest issue of W Magazine (May 2009) and opens up about her high school years, delayed wedding plans and her first big job at the Gap. Here are some highlight from Amy Adams’ W Magazine interview:

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 her fiancé, 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!”
