I Would Say Auditioning Was My Real

I'm Also Really Fulfilled By Having A Production Company And Producing Movies, And Learning About How That Works And Happens. It's A Totally, Entirely Separate Skill Set And It's One That I Happen To Also Enjoy. So, I Intend To Cultivate All Of Those Things Until I Can't Anymore. That's My Goal. I Love To Be Challenged And Busy, And So Far, So Good. I'm Just Going To Do Whatever I Can To Continue To Encourage That.

We Did Monologues And Scenes, And New York I Did A Scene From Amadeus And A Monologue From Pounding Nails In The Floor With My Forehead By Eric Bogosian, And Then In L.a. I Switched The Scene To This Is Our Youth And Did The Same Monologue. I Was Spiky-haired, Super Skinny. A Lot Of People Were Like, "you Should Come Here And Do A Sitcom." That Was The Feedback That I Got. Obviously It Was Quite A Different Journey Than The One I've Actually Had, But I Just Listened To People.

I Remember [patrick J. Adams] Being In A Particularly Disillusioned Place And Really Wanting Your Ambitions To Be Met With Opportunity And Not Feeling Like They Were. It's All The More Reason That I Feel Grateful To Be Able To Stay Connected And Be In Each Other's Lives. Obviously Now You're In A Very Different Place, And It's Really Nice To Be Able To Look Back On That And Be Reminded Of How Far We've Come, At Least In The Opportunity Aspect. The Mental State Aspect Of It Is A Different Story, I'm Sure, But I Always Knew You Would Work.

I Loved Auditioning Because It Was Just An Opportunity To Act. Whether Or Not I Got The Job Was The Next Hurdle, But The Idea That I Would Get To Act That Day Was The Thing That Excited Me The Most About It.

I Would Say Auditioning Was My Real Training Ground. The Technical Aspects - Like Hitting Marks And Pacing Yourself And Preparing And Dealing With The Downtime - The First Recurring Role I Had On 24 Was Probably The Way I Learned That Stuff.
