Joey Lauren Adams

My relationship with my father is pretty non-existent.

The last person they expected to connect with a screenplay was the comedic, blonde actress with the funny voice.

A bonus: You don't have to diet to direct.

My life isn't that dramatic. My dad really loves me, he just can't talk on the phone. He's too crippled and shy, and that's almost harder. He's there and he loves me, and I try and try and try, it's just impossible to have a relationship.

'Chasing Amy' was an amazing role, but then after that, I went and did 'Big Daddy' and you're the girlfriend or you're the best friend. I wasn't getting the Nicole Kidman roles.
