I remember, when I started acting officially, I was unbelievably green. My first audition tapes were just horrendous.

I knew my priority was acting, and school came second. If I had an audition and meetings, I did the school work later.

When I started auditioning, I'd take any audition I could get. The more dramatic ones didn't go as well as the comedic.

Never been a successful audition, not even so much as a callback, when it comes to putting me in a role of being rough.

When the audition for 'Cats' came up, even though I'd been making pop records, it felt like something I was attracted to.

Any audition that I have now, I feel like it's easier for me to learn the words because of my time on 'One Life to Live.'

After I began to explore what an actor actually is, I studied for three years before I had the guts to go on an audition.

I walked two hours to an audition once and was so sweaty that someone said, 'Oh, you guys from New Zealand don't shower.'

After my last audition for 'Game of Thrones,' they said, 'Congratulations, princess.' I was like, 'Bye-bye, call centre.'

A lot of my friends who are white are like, 'Dude, I can't get an audition; it's all Hispanic and black.' It's about time.

I see a project, and I say I want to audition for it, and people let me audition for it. There's a lot to be grateful for.

I'm not really into destiny, but it's funny - I bumped into a woman who told me about an audition, and now I have a BAFTA.

It can't be overstated how wonderful it is not to have to audition any more. Any actor will tell you, it's like Christmas.

Cheerleading was my way in. It was one of the most rigorous audition processes ever. It definitely groomed me for Hollywood.

I'm not one of those people who can cry on cue. If I have to cry in an audition, I'm like, 'Okay, let me see what I can do.'

I didn't know I could sing until I auditioned for 'Les Miserables.' My friend was auditioning, and I wanted to audition too.

My first audition for 'The Magicians' came up in conversation with a close friend who, right then, handed me the first book.

I've produced more pilots than United Airlines, and they've all been disasters. Every audition I ever took in my life I lost.

I was shocked that I even got the opportunity to audition for 'A Wrinkle in Time.' Meg Murry is a Caucasian girl in the book.

Sometimes I'll read an audition and I'll get a very strong first impression about who the person is, and I usually go with it.

I auditioned for 'Avatar' in Australia. It was a 'blind' audition. I didn't know what the movie was about and whom it was for.

When I told my mom I was going to audition for 'The Hobbit,' she said, 'Well, you've always loved Tolkien.' And she was right.

I live in Las Vegas with my family, and I never realized what my parents would go through to get me to a five-minute audition.

When I was six years old, a children's agent moved in next door to us, sent me out on a commercial audition, and I got the job.

There is something daunting about getting a role you didn't formally audition for, another weight of needing to prove yourself.

The truth is, you don't ever decide on a role, not when you first begin. You audition for the role, and you're lucky to get it.

It's easier to get an actor when you just ask them to do a day on something rather than have them come in, audition, get picked.

I knew the words to 25 rock songs, so I got in the group. Long Tall Sally and Tutti-Frutti, that got me in. That was my audition.

In Chicago, I'd audition 3-4 times a week, but when I got out to L.A., there were, like, 4-5 a day, and my skin got really thick.

But when the 'Glee' audition came around, my manager literally had to talk me into it. I was petrified to sing in front of anyone.

I used to get some flack from my agents because I wouldn't even audition for parts where the hero uses violent force to be a hero.

I would walk into an audition, and they'd say, 'Here comes Clinton Derricks-Carroll's brother.' They could never remember my name.

I loved 'BattleDome.' It was the first thing I ever auditioned for, and I was so crazy in the audition that I knew I had the part.

My first audition was an open call and I had no picture and no resume - that's how clueless I was. I just thought I could show up.

Years ago, I did a CBS audition. I was nervous. They introduced me as 'Scott Bakoola.' Not a good sign. I also didn't get the show.

We were shooting for 'Aiyyaa' in Yash Raj studios, and I got an offer for 'Aurangzeb.' That's the only time I went for an audition.

Getting that debut film is definitely harder than someone who has got a known last name. I mean some star kids don't even audition.

I've never walked through the curtain with someone I wasn't trying to audition as a WrestleMania main-eventer, and I never want to.

My dad never told me that when you audition, you might not get the role. He wanted to wait until my first disappointment to tell me.

I have absolutely no preference on TV or stage. Every job I take or that I audition for all comes down to the quality of the script.

It doesn't matter how smart you are; to audition for 'Jeopardy,' you just have to luck out and know what they're asking you that day.

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.

There's a process: you audition, you get rejected, occasionally you get jobs, and it's exciting, but it's all little stepping stones.

I'd say you have to be really committed to the field, show up for every audition and to be aware that very few make it in this field.

I got in the audition line called 'Making the Band' because I wanted to be in a band. If I didn't, I would have done 'American Idol.'

It's so ridiculous how you just get a call one day and go on an audition that can easily change your life for the next several years.

You could give the best audition ever and not get the role or not get a callback because you just weren't what they were looking for.

As an actor, there's very little you can do if people don't want to see you. Just getting yourself into the room to audition is tough.

After studying art, I was a painter for a while and was asked to audition for a movie randomly. I hadn't thought of acting before that.

I was asked to audition for the second season of 'Stranger Things.' I didn't want that level of exposure. I don't want to be TV famous.
