I didn't know how to box so I would have looked like a complete street fighter actually, but what we did have to do was pick up some sides and then just memorize them within two days and go there and audition.
I got the regular call, that they were doing a Broadway musical of Hairspray, and would I come and audition. I was familiar with the movie, because at the time it came out my lover wrote for Premiere magazine, and we had to see everything.
If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
I didn't have big movie offers, or any big agents wanting to work with me. I had to go grassroots, start at the bottom and go on 150 auditions before someone finally gave me a shot
I'm never offered any sort of roles. I need to audition in a typically lengthy process to receive roles.
I had to stop going to auditions thinking, 'Oh, I hope they like me.' I had to go in thinking I was the answer to their problem.
Auditions are hard. You should see what most of the women look like when I audition for things - they look like they should be on the catwalk.
Musical auditions are always the worst because you have to sing and act, and that's so stressful.
My agent called me and said, "You have an audition for James Bond. They're looking for the girl." And I told him, "Listen, it's all in English. I'm not an actress. I'm not going to go." He thought I was kidding with him.
Sometimes the only way you can get an audience is at an audition.
My first audition was an open call and I had no picture and no resume - that's how clueless I was. I just thought I could show up.
When I said I was going to audition for a film, I got a hearty laugh from all my family.
Every audition that I walk out of where I think I nailed it, I never get that job, ever.
I'd say you have to be really committed to the field, show up for every audition and to be aware that very few make it in this field.
Auditions are like a gamble. Most likely you won't get the part, but if you don't go, you'll never know if you could've got it.
I find the worst audition is the no audition.
Some of the most cutthroat auditions youll have as an actor are when youll have three words to say.
When you go to meetings or auditions and you fail to prepare, prepare to fail. It is simple but true.
I’d been auditioning for parts for years, I never got any better at it. I’m crap at auditions.
I never studied. I was too afraid. I thought that if an acting teacher had said to me, "You know what, you're not good," I would not have gone any further. It was easier for me to justify going to an audition and getting rejected, maybe because they wanted somebody blonde, maybe because I wasn't experienced enough. I could live with that more easily.
I would like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we’ve passed the audition.
If you get an audition and you're out of work, you just say, "I've gotta go on this."
I never talk about auditions. Even if I've got the role, I won't tell people until we're literally filming it.
I've produced more pilots than United Airlines, and they've all been disasters. Every audition I ever took in my life I lost.
The more auditions you go on, the more you will learn not to take it personally.
