Other actors like to rehearse on film-they like 30 or 40 takes. When you get an actor like that, it becomes difficult for me because I'm ready to quit after number two.

You have to keep persevering. An actor goes to a lot of auditions and doesn't get the part.

Acting takes a lot of practice, but so does auditioning.

I've been working as an actress and sort of struggling along for ten years, so I've been on a million auditions for a million things I haven't booked.

Auditioning is such an unnatural thing. You're in a tiny little room with, like, seven people cramped together, acting to a casting director; just, none of it makes any sense.

Whenever you go into an audition, you have to be as prepared as possible.

Actors know, with me they aren't going to be allowed to rehearse a scene for a couple of hours and then get away with doing 25 takes before we get it right. So they come with their full bag of tricks.

I like doing films and I wish that I could do more but I still have to audition. I don't get offered starring roles in movies even though I've written and starred in a movie.

If you do a scene and you really like a character in it or a premise in it to write it down and to work on it so that you can have five or six characters that you can pull out in an audition.

I don't try and be competitive with auditions. When I go on one, I kind of just forget about it.
