At 35, former Hooters Girl turned two-time Oscar-nominee Amy Adams is in no hurry to rush down the aisle with actor fiance Darren Le Gallo.

“We haven’t even started with the date,” the Julie & Julia star told Allure Magazine’s August 2009 issue, on newsstands July 21. “I’ve been really busy, and I feel like a horrible fiancee that I haven’t gotten swept up in the whole idea of a wedding. But I haven’t.”

The couple co-starred together in the 2006 film Pennies.

“I think he was patient for the first nine months, but now that we have been engaged for a year, he’s sort of, you know, ‘This is going to happen, right?’” she explained. “He understands I’m busy, but he’s ready. He’s much more ready for kids and stuff than I am.”

Looking back on her younger days, Amy said she wishes she hadn’t spent so much time pursuing the wrong types of men.

“When I look at my 20s, or when I look at any period in my life, I think about how much time I’ve wasted trying to find the right man. It’s like, if I could go back and do it again, I would have taken guitar lessons or something. I would have put my energy into something that paid off in the end, instead of trying to improve myself for men. Oh, the time and the energy, trying to impress somebody who was actually a big jerk, you know?”

Amy Adams earned her second Oscar nomination this year for her role as a naive young nun in the Meryl Strep-assisted Doubt, but in an interview with the February/March issue of BlackBook the actress, who earned her first Oscar nod for the 2005 hit Junebug, says she’s most excited about a pair of new roles that will allow film audiences to see another side of her acting talent.

She’ll play Amelia Earhart in Night At The Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian.

”Tight jodhpurs,” Amy laughs. “It’s going to be an Amy Adams butt show. I was like, ‘That’s a lot of information.’ I’m not known for showing my ass on camera, but there it is.”

The movie opens in May.

Amy will also star in the critically-acclaimed Sundance hit Sunshine Cleaning, due in theaters March 13.

”We went a couple of different ways with my character, Rose. One was the ‘mom jeans’ way, and then there was the pseudo-prostitute version.”
