Thinking Quotes by Melanie Lynskey

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 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.

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?”

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

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.

There’s a rhythm to script [ in “I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore”], as well, especially the pacing of it. But there definitely were times when I would say something and [ Macon Blair] would say, “I didn’t think to deliver it like that” or, “I didn’t think it had that meaning.” And he’d say, “I like it. I think it’s good.” So he’s open. He’s not battering it into you.
