Everyone thinks offers are always pouring in. Offers have never poured in. Never. I was auditioning a lot, but I didn't get the jobs.

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

Just go and keep auditioning and keep trying and keep believing things will turn around, and it always does.

I find the roller-coaster ride of auditioning most challenging. It's always about putting yourself out there, being rejected, and then getting back out there and trying again.

With all the auditions you do, there is a lot of rejection you have to take as well. You get used to that.

I'm not sought after. I never get enough work. It's the history of my career. There just isn't anything to turn down, let me put it that way.

So struggling for work here has been very good for me, but it's also been very hard to handle rejection.

I used to audition like crazy - I would go on a hundred before I got anything. It took me a long time to get any jobs at all. It was hard until I booked 'Galaxy Quest,' and then it started to get easier.

I really need to work. People think that I'm no longer interested in acting and only interested in working with the animals. Obviously I have given that impression, but it is not how I feel. I think I'm a good actor. I think I look OK. I don't understand why I'm not working all the time.
