Los Angeles, Oct 1 (IANS): Actress Amy Adams, who is engaged to Darren Le Gallo, thinks weddings are just a waste of money.

"Weddings are not a good value and I like good value. Still, I'd be disappointed if we didn't have one," people.com quoted Adams as saying.

The 38-year-old also revealed she is less focused on her career since becoming a mother.

She gave birth to the couple's daughter Aviana 2010 and says the youngster is now the most important thing in her world, leaving work in the shade.

"I love my work but I'm becoming more successful at leaving it behind when I'm at home so my daughter feels I belong to her and not the world," she said.

She says Aviana hates seeing her go out to work and she wants to do more to put her family first, without leaving herself unfulfilled.

"I would like to focus more on spending time with my daughter. My idea was to work a lot when she was young and when she started to be more aware of what was going on, I'd do less.

"She's a little less impressed with me working all the time now. Her lips are starting to turn down when I leave," she said.
