EVERYTHING is going wonderfully for Melissa George, except that she is losing her mind and quitting acting to start a family.

Actually, neither of those things is happening.

“There was even an article that came out in Woman’s Day that I was losing my fricking mind,” she said, laughing heartily. ”Apparently Melissa’s losing her mind.”

So George hit back on a social media site, saying: “Just told her where to go.”

The truth is that the star, who has appeared in films Mulholland Drive, The Amityville Horror and 30 Days of Night is busy working. Babies come later.

“I’ve just booked three films starting January,” she said. “Back to back.”

George, 33, in Melbourne on a flying visit, wouldn’t reveal any details of the new roles yesterday, but said she had been busy since appearing as a guest star on Grey’s Anatomy and In Treatment.

For her performance in the latter she was nominated for a Golden Globe, 14 years after she received the first of two Gold Logie nominations for her role as Angel on soapie Home and Away.

In Melbourne to open Chadstone’s new development, George professed to mixed feelings about shopping centres. “It gets a little madness,” she demurred. “But it’s great you go to one place and everything’s there.”

George’s parents live in Perth, her website is based in Britain and she lives between New York and Buenos Aires with her husband, Chilean film director Claudio Dabed.

So, where is home?

“I’m from Planet Earth,” she said, laughing. “When you’re comfortable within you’re at home anywhere. I literally get to a city and … convert to the way the people live there, I do what they do. I don’t know where I’m from really,” she said. She then added, emphatically: “I’m from Perth. I’m from where my Mum and Dad live, you know.”

Beyond the films, George is a budding entrepreneur, being the co-inventor of adhesive device HemmingMyWay, which rehems pants and skirts. “That’s harder work than anything,” she said. “I’m getting shipping quotes – I don’t understand a word … I make movies!”
