Melanie Lynskey

Melanie Lynskey: You always see those movies that have amazing casts, and it's funny to be in one of them. It's a list of all these fantastic people and, oh, me as well.

Melanie Lynskey: (On Charlie Sheen's reaction to her native accent) He turned around and said, "What's this voice? What are you doing?" I said, "I'm just talking." Then he said, "Hmmm. Is that some kind of actor-y thing?"

Melanie Lynskey: The first audition I ever did, the casting director said "I don't know why you're here. You're never going to work in America. You don't look right. You don't have the right kind of personality. I don't even know if you can do an American accent. Maybe you can try England." That was the first thing I ever heard when I came here. It only made me more determined.
