Zitat des Tages von Melanie Lynskey:
For a while, I was only being sent fat-girl parts. Seriously? Sometimes I feel like I'm making some kind of radical statement because I'm a size 6.
I guess I've never really had a great desire to be a leading lady, or be seen as an ingenue.
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.
If I could be working every day, I would be.
I read every single review, because I love film criticism and I'm interested.
New Zealanders can be a little hostile.
I've definitely had times in my life where I've been depressed and not able to do anything at all.
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.'
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.
People in New Zealand go out of their way to not be impressed by things.
I guess I have a strong constitution.
There's not much of a follow-your-dreams kind of vibe in New Zealand or my family.
I don't think I've played a lot of crazy people.
The interesting thing about acting is using all your own stuff and having some kind of personal catharsis while you're working.
