My friend knows the hottie Will from Smash, and he gave her great advice. When you go into theater, you have to be prepared for at least 80% of your life to be rejection. Then my friend talked about how the gorgeous Joely Richardson couldn't get any acting work when she started and it took Wentworth Miller ten years of auditioning to become an overnight success in Hollywood.
I don't want to be a celebrity, I don't even want to be a star, I just want to be a chorus girl.
It doesn't make it easier to hear that you just have to expect to hear the word no, but I guess it helps to know that you are not the only person who is hearing no all the time. Those people on dating websites ain't got nothing on us performing artists for backbone in the department of coping with regular rejection. Yowza.
Also in other fields!
