… And I do feel like so much of my acting career feels very out of control.
It's influenced how I process relationships, how I'm able to be present or not present. It has influenced the relationships that I have. Kinney says The Supporting Character, which she wrote while experiencing an “epiphany” following Wilson's death, is told “through the perspective of analyzing different things about my life, through the lens of being an actor - because I do feel my auditioning and my work as an actor has shaped my life in a very specific way. On the brutally honest folk-pop ballad, Kinney, also known for her work on Masters of Sex, Conviction, and Ten Days in the Valley, confesses: “I wanna be skinny, let my bones show/Let the world grow while I am shrinking/I wanna be beautiful, I’m constantly in fear.” At point, she even chastises herself, “You’re a smart, pretty catch, quite a winner/If you were just a few pounds thinner.” “Like, even close friends have reached out specifically about ‘Skinny.’ And it's interesting, because I wasn't anticipating that, actually,” Kinney muses to Yahoo Entertainment/ SiriusXM Volume. Or, as she notes, “I always think my more love-song-type things will catch on.” But it is in fact the body-image rumination “Skinny” that has elicited the most feedback from fans.
She’d assumed it would be “I Went Looking for You,” which she wrote after she attended the 2018 funeral of actor Scott Wilson (who played her father on The Walking Dead). Actress and singer-songwriter Emily Kinney didn’t expect “Skinny” to be the track off her deeply personal new album, The Supporting Character, that would garner the most attention.
