I saw this interview with Brit Marling at Off Camera with Sam Jones and thought it was worth passing along. So many times I was told in a drama class that I had to audition for everything just to get work. I disagree with that idea, and so did Brit. You don't have to put up with roles that are demeaning and that you don't believe in. She took it a step further and actually created the kind of stories that gave her a character she could develop on camera. In the process she bypassed the slog and turned herself into a serious contender on the Hollywood scene. Inspiring!
