Apparently, Hollywood is so rampant with sexual predators that Amy Adams purposely chose to play nun roles so that she’d feel more comfortable on set.

As she told The Hollywood Reporter, “I think most women have experienced [sexual harassment], even if it’s just feeling unsafe rejecting somebody. And apologizing, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry, I must have been sending you the wrong signal,’ when, really, it’s like, ‘No, I think I said I don’t want to go out with you, I don’t know how that’s the wrong signal. I think we should just be friends and I’m not sure why you’re at my doorstep.’ It’s that unsafe feeling.”

She added, “I can’t say all, but most women have had that moment and you question yourself. ‘Did I smile? Was I not direct enough?’”

Then: “There’s a reason I started playing nuns and virgins,” she said, laughing. “I was like, ‘I’m not putting up with that anymore.’”

Amy said she’d rather lend her voice to people who don’t have the same luxuries as her. “If I’m going to use my voice to talk about pay discrepancy, it’s going to be for women who don’t have the same platform as me.”
