Hawn explains, “I believe you have to start with a craft; you don’t just start with a dream. You’ve got to put a lot of work in. If you want to pursue acting, then you go to acting class. If you want to be a dancer, then you learn to dance, which is what I did. If you want to be a ventriloquist or join the circus … When you’re young, you start looking at what you want to do—not just who you want to be, but what you want to do. And I think the tenacity to say, ‘I’m going to perfect that,’ is the beginning of a work ethic. It’s the beginning of a talent. I would say, ‘Perfect what you do well. Branch out and learn how to do other things. Dreams sometimes don’t work out. But what will carry you through your life is the authenticity of who you are. Start with learning how to hammer a nail into a piece of wood. And be really good at it. Learn what it is to sweat. Learn what it is to fail. Learn how to take rejection. Don’t personalize it.’ I always believed that I could become a dance teacher. I had a realistic dream.”

Chris Pratt on His Failed ‘Superman Returns’ Audition

Chris Pratt

Pratt didn’t get the role — Brandon Routh did — and the 2006 Superman film was made with a lukewarm response from critics and fans and Routh never made another Superman movie. Pratt later became Marvel’s Star-Lord to much greater box office success. Pratt then added, “It just goes to show that it’s all divinely planned. If it’s not working out in the moment, then have faith that it might work out in the future. The no’s that you get today might mean an even more powerful yes in the future. You know what I mean?”

Pratt concluded by joking, “I’m glad I wasn’t Superman!”

Emma Watson

People sometimes talk about me as being a brand, having a strategy and whatever else. I wish. Seriously. I wish I had it together enough to have a strategy. But it’s so instinctual. It usually comes down to two things: the person I’m working with—the director is really important to me—and a line in a script.

Bautista credits Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 director James Gunn for giving him the chance to show off more of his range with Drax in the sequel. He says, “There’s nothing that I wanted to do that I wasn’t given the opportunity to do. It’s always been a goal of mine to show a full range of emotions for a character, and that’s what I wanted to do because that’s kind of my challenge as an actor. With Drax I just took it across the board, got to show off everything, my comedic side, my dramatic side, my very emotional side and the action part of the character. For me it’s more challenging, it’s more interesting because I think if you go the other way and you do the action character, it’s kind of a no-brainer. It’s kind of easy, it’s predictable, but I don’t want to be predictable. I want to be entertaining.”

Carrie Coon - The Leftovers

Coon credits the imagination of actors for pushing them into new territory. She says, “It’s Hollywood that lacks imagination. Actors don’t. That’s why we’re always auditioning for things that other people think we’re not right for, because we never tell ourselves we’re not right for something.”As an example, she points out to Hollywood’s disappointing lack of variety of roles for women her age. She says, “When you get to be a certain age as a woman, there are certain roles that keep popping up at you: cops with a heart of gold, washed-up hookers with a heart of gold, moms with a heart of gold. I mean it’s all the same.”
