Amy Adams became more honest after becoming a mom.
The 50-year-old actress has revealed that she adopted a whole new approach to life after becoming a mom in 2010.
Amy - who has Aviana, 14, with her husband, Darren Le Gallo - explained on 'The Drew Barrymore Show': "I think my awareness of how much I changed just took time, because I was trying so hard to please others and trying so hard to just do everything that I could and be everything to everybody all the time.
"I think it just exhausted myself. And at some point, I had no more energy for anything but honesty."
Amy has ultimately felt more comfortable acknowledging her own shortcomings.
The 'American Hustle' star - who has been married to Darren since 2015 - said: "At some point I was able to speak the truth and to really ask for what I needed, communicate that maybe I don't have it all under control and maybe I need a little bit more support than I thought I did. Because I, like I said, I changed."
Earlier this year, Amy acknowledged that motherhood has changed her life and her career.
The actress explained that her daughter became the focus of her attention, rather than her career in the movie business.
She told Variety: "Every moment needed to be dedicated to the care and keeping of my child.
"Motherhood did redirect my priorities. And I think that changed some relationships. That was hard, but I don’t think it’s uncommon."
Amy also enjoys the experience of being an older actress in Hollywood.
She said: "It gets so much better. But there are things I miss: my joints working, collagen, things like that."
