About Kelly Lynch: Kelly Lynch is an American actress.
I just think we're living in a time of massive, amazing change, like the Industrial Revolution on acid.
But actors at a certain point take the best of what's available to them.
I think right now in the world we're feeling like there's no solid ground beneath our feet, you know?
My whole career is based on taking a left turn after each film and doing the opposite of what I've just done.
I don't care what people's myths are about me.
The worst thing would be for them to find out who I really am, because that's where I hide.
The fact that I got Drugstore Cowboy at all was a fluke.
The least consideration of any film I've ever worked on is who is right for it.
You look at Gone With the Wind, how right Vivian Leigh was for that. Don't know if that would happen today.
It's important for me to see as many colors in the character as possible.
I like to show as much of a woman as I can. I like to fill things out.
Well, for someone who looks like me you wonder where Alfred Hitchcock is.
In a collaborative environment directors hire actors because they want their input, not just their bodies.
I do come shackled with whatever people think I am.
Cause I won't repeat myself, the way I dress and look.
I mean, I always feel incredibly lucky to get a job.
My idols are all older.
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.
You learn your text and have it in the back of your head, without a thought as to how you're going to say it.
All I really want to do is entertain people out there sitting in the dark and for them to believe it.
