For Amy Adams, pain of HBO's 'Sharp Objects' is also its pleasure

At HBO's TCA event in Beverly Hills, Amy Adams said she suffered from insomnia while filming 'Sharp Objects'

Amy Adams, the five-time Oscar-nominated star of HBO’s dark limited series 'Sharp Objects', says she couldn’t help but bring her troubled journalist character Camille Preaker home to bed at night.

“I had really bad insomnia and would wake up with anxiety, and I had to realize that I didn’t own it—it belonged to Camille,” Adams said on July 25 at the Television Critics Association press tour at the Beverly Hills Hilton in Los Angeles. “I’d have these insane conversations with myself at four o’clock in the morning, trying to decide what was my anxiety, what was Camille’s.”
