I feel so lucky to have done so many things that I love in the past few years so I'm just going to keep trying to do them.

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

I'm not one of those people w...

I'm not one of those people who can cry on cue. If I have to cry in an audition, I'm like, 'Okay, let me see what I can do.

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

Honestly, I think if I had to...

Honestly, I think if I had to stop acting I'd be like, 'Well, I guess I have to go live in the mountains now.' I'd probably be a good assistant.

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

I really like 'Girls.' I know...

I really like 'Girls.' I know everybody does, but I love 'Girls.

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

I'm pretty active, so I wasn'...

I'm pretty active, so I wasn't really worried [about filming "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore" ]. But there was a day when I was like, "God, I've been rowing for two hours."

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

Even though it's still, annoy...

Even though it's still, annoyingly, something everybody feels the need to bring up to anybody who doesn't look like a model, there are more women now who are super successful and have different body types. You know, like men do. That feels like progress to me.

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

I don't think I've played a l...

I don't think I've played a lot of crazy people. If ever I had a choice between two movies, I'd try to do whatever was the opposite of what I did last time.

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

I think there's so many littl...

I think there's so many little specific things in the script [of "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore"]. And the script was also structured so beautifully that I didn't want to mess with it.

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

I feel like any actor should ...

I feel like any actor should always be thinking about how to serve the story. The thing to be cautious of is trying to make too much of your "moment," or whatever. The story is a lot bigger than you, and you're there to help it along. The thing to think about is whether what you're doing is true to the moment and where the story's going, rather than going, "Here are my scenes. What can I try and do to make the most of them?"

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

It's always nice for me to ge...

It's always nice for me to get to explore somebody who's feeling that and then does something with it and takes it in a different direction or does something with it. It feels very powerful. It helps me with my own.

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

I want to go and have a real ...

I want to go and have a real experience and it's just lovely to sit and watch a movie and just be really transported by a story and care about the characters. That's always what I'm looking for.

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

Even just reading "I Don't Fe...

Even just reading "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore,"I got a sense of the world and the story [Macon Blair] wanted to tell. And then I had a meeting with him and understood how he likes to work. I really trusted him from the beginning.

It's good to feel tired at the end of the day. It's not often as an actor that you're like, "Oof. Ow. I feel like I've been out working."

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

I think filmmakers are always...

I think filmmakers are always interested in getting the best actor that they can find, the person who's the most right for it.

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

I love festivals because I feel like I'm more of a movie fan than a person who's in the film industry.

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

I feel so grateful when I see...

I feel so grateful when I see a movie and there's a woman who looks somewhat like me. I'm like, 'Thank you, Samantha Morton!' You know, a woman who feels like a human being. That means so much to me.

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

I was at university and I was...

I was at university and I was studying modern drama and studying English, and I just was like, 'I don't wanna be in this place. I wanna be acting.'

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

I like to play the grey areas...

I like to play the grey areas in life - that's the most uncomfortable place to be. Nobody likes to be in that in-between state where there don't know what's going to happen. There's a lot of tension in that, and a lot of stuff to play with - where it's uncomfortable and awkward and sad and scary.

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

I've done a gazillion reading...

I've done a gazillion readings that have gone on to be movies that are made without me.

Melanie Lynskey 27 quotes

I used to write stories and poetry, but for some reason I have it in my head that if I'm going to write, I have to write a script.
