There's nothing like rejection to make you do an inventory of yourself.

For an actor, you're rejected eight or ten times a day. All you've got to sell is yourself. You're not selling products, they're not turning down a car, they're turning you down. Most people can't handle that. Most people are essentially not set up that way.

You can always hear a director saying, 'Well I don't really know what this piece is saying, so therefore, I reject it.' There are any number of things you can anticipate going wrong, and sometimes they go right. But I think the things you like most are the things that get rejected first. That's just how things work.

You've got to love this business. You have to be able to take rejection.

I've had way more rejections than I've had jobs.

There is no one thing that can turn around a rejection. But there is one answer: begin talking to your customers who have already bought from you and discover why they bought.

I always feel like rejection is my petrol. That's what keeps me going.

Rejection is the one constant of human experience.

You're going to have more rejection than acceptance.

These rejections hurt me terribly because I felt it was my life that was being rejected.
