Nightbitch' actress Amy Adams tells PEOPLE she's embracing daring roles and new experiences — with one important boundary

Amy Adams, six-time Oscar nominee, knows exactly what that feels like. In a new People interview, she opened up about what she calls her “closet crying” era as a new mom.

The upcoming black comedy, which was adapted from Rachel Yoder's novel of the same name, features Amy as a painter who puts her career on hold to be a stay-at-home mom. The overwhelming demands of motherhood transform her mentally, emotionally, and ultimately physically.
