The 'Nocturnal Animals' star praised her husband Darren Le Gallo and their six-year-old daughter Aviana as she reflected on being honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this week.
She said: "For me, it is a wonderful time to reflect in the gratitude I have for my family, for my team, for my daughter. For people who are really making a lot of sacrifices to make this day possible.
"I want [Aviana] to know that is it not just women that can soar, she can soar and she needs to find her own light. I know she is on that path. That is something that I need to remind her. No light that shines on me creates a shadow for her to stand in."
And the 42-year-old actress also revealed her dream list of collaborators includes Jessica Chastain and Natalie Portman.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, she added: "I just had a wonderful conversation with Jessica Chastain [and] Natalie Portman.
"I mean, [there are] so many women I would love to work with that are my peers and we don't get an opportunity because there is not a lot of films written for multiple female leads, so I feel that is something I would love to do."
Meanwhile, Amy previously claimed she owes her acting career to being a redhead.
She explained: "Based on roles that I was getting, called in for, people were responding to certain types of characters with me as a blonde and the minute I went red, it was quirky and fun instead of flirtatious and dumb ...
"But in all seriousness, it's just hair colour. It was really fascinating to see just one element of yourself change people's perception and that became a very powerful tool for me even in my acting."
