A biography for Lucy Boyntonhasn’t been written yet.
“I think it makes such a huge difference when the director has acting experience as well because it just means that he not only has a view of the film as a whole and the intentions of the scene in terms of the audience, he also has an actor's instinct of how to communicate something to us.”
“People keep referring to 'Sing Street' as a musical, but I really never felt it was that. I can't really define it as a musical.”
“I find that I'm quite experimental. I'm drawn to the brighter and weirder things.”
“I'm quite tentative when it comes to biopics because they cross a line into intrusiveness or exposing someone who isn't alive or around to draw a line or defend themselves.”
“I've always liked higher necklines, and Mia Farrow is my ultimate inspiration. The baby-doll dresses with big Peter Pan collars that she wore in 'Rosemary's Baby' were iconic. I've been drawn to similar looks ever since.”
“My absolute favorite film is Hal Ashby's 'Harold and Maude.'”
“I want to act every second of every day.”
“My skin gets really dry and stressed from all the traveling I do, so I've had to find reliable products to help that.”
“I remember watching that scene in 'My Girl' where Anna Chlumsky cries at a funeral. I would cry with her and be like, 'Yeah, I think I could do that. I could do a funeral scene.'”
“Because I started at such a young age, I went in with a 'take what comes, do what I'm told' approach.”
“Oh, my God, I would be the most uncool band member, ever.”
“I realized on my first day on set of 'Miss Potter' that there wasn't going to be anything else that could make me as happy or feel as fulfilled as acting does.”
“There is something daunting about getting a role you didn't formally audition for, another weight of needing to prove yourself.”
“Anything that Osgood Perkins writes, you can sign me up!”
“It's impossible not to be aware of the Ryan Murphy empire, but he is so kind and funny, and you feel in such safe hands every day.”
“Comedy kind of terrifies me. I feel pretty intimidated.”
“I tend to look very different with every role that I do, so I don't know if anybody remembers me or recognizes me at all, including people that I've worked with and know really well.”
“There were years in between of going to auditions pretty much every day and getting nothing.”
“I don't think I've done anything quite like 'Gypsy' before. Especially the honest way that it is written.”
“The pressure to look good is intense. It is hard to be immune to that and the self-consciousness that comes with it.”
