There's no substitute to actually being in the room and having people in the room feel the force of your audition. It's very hard to beat that.

There are several times when I walked into a room and just felt like such a sham. That's the problem with auditioning.

I've been auditioning since I'm nine years old. Honestly, most of my friends I've met in audition rooms because you're always auditioning.

I don't like auditions. I feel like they're a very unnatural setting and it's a very unsettling experience. Because you can't help but walk in and feel like you're trying to prove yourself to people. And you should just walk in and be.

Every audition is different, but I get incredibly nervous and insecure and worked up for however long I have to prep - that's when I get to spin. But you're not allowed to spin once you enter the room. Doubt really can't enter the room when you're auditioning - unless it's part of the character.

I hate auditioning; it makes me more nervous than anything ever, and I always feel like I wasted my time and I could have been creating my own thing. With the Internet, you have so much freedom that 'gatekeepers' make me terrified.

As much as I hate auditioning - it's so hard and awkward - it's way better to walk out of that room and win a role because of what you did.

I find the roller-coaster ride of auditioning most challenging. It's always about putting yourself out there, being rejected, and then getting back out there and trying again.
