My dad never told me that when you audition, you might not get the role. He wanted to wait until my first disappointment to tell me.

I auditioned for a musical, and I can't sing. It was a kid's film musical, not a stage show, so I thought I could get away with it.

As I got older, I auditioned for drama school and shocked myself by getting in.

I auditioned on my own. I tried to make a mark for myself without anybody's help, not even Mom's.

I wanted to be a child actor so bad that every day I'd beg my parents if I could audition, but my mom said, 'Not until you can drive yourself to auditions.'

I was 12 years old, so auditioning for a TV show was something I didn't even think really happened. The next thing you know, I ended up booking the gig and I did four seasons on 'Emily of New Moon.' I got to learn on the job and kept going from there.

No I didn't audition, I didn't even know David Lynch till the week before I started the film.

I was not a child star. I was more like a young auditioner.

You think you can go into all those auditions not knowing who you are? The work came after I found my sense of self - when I wasn't so manic and desperate.

I went on countless auditions. I begged my parents until I finally was allowed to be in a theatrical play when I was 13. It was the most important thing in my life.
