If you're going to go to an audition, you don't want to go in trying to force yourself into some archetype that has been thought up by a director and translated by a casting director.
When I'd finished, everybody said they wanted me for this movie. At first I thought they meant a nudie flick since an awful lot of nudies are made in Houston.
I knew I would never be cast as the pretty girl.
Anurag sir is very specific about his casting.
A lot of times when people cast me, they want this big, deep black voice... And I tend to recycle them with different roles from time to time.
I was incredibly nervous about doing a period drama. I thought that to play period, you had to be English-looking and blonde and very well spoken, and have gone to drama school.
I hope I never get in the situation where I refuse to audition, because I think people have a right to see you interpreting the character, and if you don't do it the way they want you to, they have a right to say, "No."
I don't assume that I am going to be cast as a Glaswegian landlord.
Having done television, I was used to either being aware whether I got the part within the same day, or within two, three days max.
