More quotes by Melanie Lynskey
I always like [while filming] to have a sense of what led this person to this point.
Melanie Lynskey
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
Some scripts are pretty sparse.
Melanie Lynskey
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.
Melanie Lynskey
For The Intervention I came up with a back-story and Clea [Duvall] was like, No. And I was like, I don't care.
Melanie Lynskey
Sometimes you just feel so fortunate to be in the company that you're in and you just want to soak it all up.
Melanie Lynskey
I felt like the script [of I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore] was so clear. It was sort of packed full of information. [Macon Blair] puts in a lot of discussion in the script. Characters are introduced very thoughtfully. The way he described walking into particular environments was very specific.
Melanie Lynskey
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.

I know my mother-in-law would drive two hours to go see a movie that I'm in.
Melanie Lynskey
I guess I have a strong constitution.
Melanie Lynskey
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
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
I read every single review, because I love film criticism and I'm interested.
Melanie Lynskey
I feel weird when I go to the movies and everybody's faces are perfect.
Melanie Lynskey
I guess I've never really had a great desire to be a leading lady, or be seen as an ingenue.
Melanie Lynskey
The interesting thing about acting is using all your own stuff and having some kind of personal catharsis while you're working.
Melanie Lynskey
I've done a gazillion readings that have gone on to be movies that are made without me.
Melanie Lynskey
I've had a lot of struggles with depression. It's very easy for me to go to a bleak place, or for me to doubt humanity, myself, the world, my choices.
Melanie Lynskey
I don't think I've played a lot of crazy people.
Melanie Lynskey
The acting life is different than I thought it would be. I love it - it's actually a lot less pressure than I thought it would be.
Melanie Lynskey
