In the interview with Amy says she fully supports equality in pay for male and female actors, but maintains that the issue is complicated:
'The negotiation comes to a standstill and I have to make a choice, which a lot of women do. I can walk away. But I choose not to…This is an issue not just about women's pay; we need to work on how women are viewed in society and then the pay will be reflected in that…Right now time is more important to me. So that's what I negotiate because any time I'm working, I'm not spending with my daughter.'
She also talks candidly about being compared to other women in Hollywood, and jokes:
'I gave up wanting to look like Charlize when I was, like, 12. I have short legs, I'm athletic, I have pale skin that reacts to cold and hot moisture. You just have to accept who you are. In those comparisons, I always lost.'
And of the US Presidential campaign, Amy says, 'It is beautiful to tell your daughter that a woman is running for President. I get emotional. England has had female leaders for generations, but we have not had that.'
