I went on an audition. I walked in the room, and it was Leslie Mann with Judd Apatow. It was intimidating.

My strangest auditioning experience was when I was reading for a TV show, and right when I started the audition, the casting director left the room and yelled at me from the hallway to keep reading.

A friend of mine had died, and I went for an audition. It was weird and cathartic: the producer was very excited about the piece, but my brain wasn't working, and it all seemed really pointless and fickle. I told them I didn't want to be there any more, and left. It was the most terrifying and empowering audition experience I've had.

I hate going into the audition room. I find it the most nerve-wracking, inhumane experience, and I think it's such an inhospitable environment to give an honest account of the character and, I guess, your ability.

Auditioning is extremely bizarre. Just being an actor is extremely bizarre, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'd knocked on doors when I'd gone to theater school in Los Angeles the summer of my junior year, trying to find an agent and submitting headshots, but nobody would see me, and I knew it was virtually impossible to get an audition if you didn't have an agent.

I've had heartbreaking auditions where they don't even look at you. You're out before you're in.

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