Acting is a life of rejection.

I used to take it personally when a casting director didn't like me or I didn't get picked for something. Now I realize you can't do that. It'll mess with your self-esteem. Don't take rejection overly personally. If that doesn't work out, there's something else waiting for you.

After so many years of rejection, I felt acting would have to become a hobby rather than a full-time profession.

With all the auditions you do, there is a lot of rejection you have to take as well. You get used to that.

You need to develop, somehow, a huge amount of faith and confidence in yourself, because there's a lot of rejection throughout an actor's life and you have to believe in yourself more than anyone else.

You're constantly getting rejected in acting. You get rejected more than you get hired!

Rejection is, of course, part of any successful model's career, as ironic as that sounds. It's how you pick yourself up and get on with the job.

I've always hated rejection; I only want to go out there when I know I've got it right.

Save your rejections so that later when you are famous you can show them to people and laugh.

Rejection is a big part of show business. It can be tough on anyone who doesn't have fairly good self-esteem. Especially kids, as they try to discover who they are.
