Kelly Lynch

“Cause I won't repeat myself, the way I dress and look.”

“Yeah, I do feel badly sometimes, not for whose coming up and getting roles I'm not right for anymore but the people I compete with, who range from Uma Thurman on up.”

“The worst thing would be for them to find out who I really am, because that's where I hide.”

“If it's independent, it's because I love it... 'cause they usually end up costing me money to do.”

“It's part of the fun of it to work with strong personalities.”

“In their 30s women really start to live... they're not children anymore, and they're not just mothers.”

“All I really want to do is entertain people out there sitting in the dark and for them to believe it.”

“You look at Gone With the Wind, how right Vivian Leigh was for that. Don't know if that would happen today.”

“And sometimes I do films so my daughter can see me work.”

“In a collaborative environment directors hire actors because they want their input, not just their bodies.”

“I mean, I always feel incredibly lucky to get a job.”

“That's where I got my start and where I'll continue to work, but I can't tell you the number of films between Drugstore Cowboy and Curly Sue that I auditioned for and wanted that didn't choose me.”

“I do come shackled with whatever people think I am.”

“You know, I change my hair color a lot, I do all sorts of different things.”

“I don't care what people's myths are about me.”

“I think right now in the world we're feeling like there's no solid ground beneath our feet, you know?”

“I've been overwhelmed; I was a single mother for a time.”

“My whole career is based on taking a left turn after each film and doing the opposite of what I've just done.”

“It's important for me to see as many colors in the character as possible.”

“I just think we're living in a time of massive, amazing change, like the Industrial Revolution on acid.”
