Amy Adams: 'Perfect isn't normal, nor is it interesting'

Amy Adams opened up about her outlook on the way she looks and lives her life, which is a far contrast to some Hollywood actresses. The Man of Steel star said she jumped at the chance to portray a superhero in the newest Superman movie because it allows her to be someone she’s not.

The actress opened up to the July issue of Allure and dished about her role as Lois Lane.

"I've wanted to be in a superhero movie, and this was my best chance -- as some mere mortal," she said. "Let's be real here. I don't look that good in Lycra. I do all right, but I hadn't anticipated that I was ever going to be cast as the girl in Lycra looking hot."

Adams, 38, also dished about her appearance, saying she embraces how she looks – flaws and all.

“Perfect isn't normal, nor is it interesting. Some of these actresses or public personas who are very public about their disciplined diets, more power to them. I just don't see the point,” she said, Us Weekly notes. “I'm just not going to be one of those people photographed in a bikini where people are like, 'OMG, look at Amy!' I mean, it might be OMG, but not for the reasons I want."

She also said of wearing makeup, "I have no features without makeup. I am pale. I have blonde lashes. You could just paint my face -- it's like a blank canvas. It can be great for what I do."
