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.

Many's the audition I waltzed into unprepared and wondered why I didn't get it. I learned the hard way.

I have always been good at auditioning, but maybe because I had a good trick at the beginning. I would pretend that my agent gave me the wrong scene or lines. They would take pity on me and hand me the right scene. I would act like I had never seen this before - and then do pretty well considering I had already rehearsed it.

Just getting auditions was rough. But also just learning how to act - when I did my first role, in a film I did which was a favour to a friend, I realised I was really bad at it.

I auditioned for Robert Redford once and I was so starstruck I couldn't even speak. I had a mic wire at a screen test clipped to me and then I got kind of nervous and I paced in a circle and then took a step and tripped and fell on my face. You just have to forgive yourself and keep going on.

I never went on an audition - when they were really looking at everybody.

I've always done pretty well in auditions. I just go in and give it my best shot.

My very first audition was for 'Hot Girl #1' in some movie.

I've gotten a lot more comfortable with the audition process, but there's something that really turned me off initially when I was younger, to auditioning. The idea that I couldn't get to the person that was actually making the film really frustrated me.

My first audition was the worst I have ever done, ever.
