If I said to most of the people who auditioned, 'Good job, awesome, well done,' it would have made me actually look and feel ridiculous. It's quite obvious most of the people who turned up for this audition were hopeless.

Even before I auditioned for 'X Factor' the second time, I was doing a lot of dance music.

I wish I knew that when I go in for an audition and I don't get the part, it actually doesn't have to do with me on a personal level.

I never thought I'd go on a show like 'The X Factor,' simply because I didn't have enough confidence to do something like standing on a stage to have opinions thrown at me.

The good thing about auditioning is that you get to test yourself and see if you can play this character - you're also auditioning yourself.

I auditioned for 'American Idol' at 17. They told me, 'No.'

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.

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.

The audition process is always grueling. You always hope to just get offered things, and sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't.
