"I think a lot of times we don't pay enough attention to people with a positive attitude because we assume they are naive or stupid or unschooled"

In this quote, Amy Adams is highlighting a common mistaken belief that many individuals have about those with a positive attitude. She thinks that often, individuals with a favorable outlook are not taken seriously or offered enough attention since they are perceived as being naive, unintelligent, or doing not have education. Adams is suggesting that this is an error and that we ought to pay more attention to those with a positive attitude due to the fact that they might have important insights and point of views to provide. She is motivating us to look beyond our assumptions and judgments and recognize the worth of positivity in others.
