I once auditioned to play Janis Joplin and I still sometimes wake up in a cold sweat thinking that there's a tape of me auditioning to play Janis Jop… - Melanie Lynskey
" "I once auditioned to play Janis Joplin and I still sometimes wake up in a cold sweat thinking that there's a tape of me auditioning to play Janis Joplin out there somewhere... so mortifying. It was when I was younger, and was auditioning for everything, so there were roles that I would go for that didn't resonate with me, in my soul, and that was torturous. I mean I wish Janis Joplin was in me, but she really isn't.

Additional quotes by Melanie Lynskey
The first audition I ever did [in America], the casting director said, "I don't know why you're here. You're never going to work [here]. 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." ... It made me more determined.
