A Quote by Isla Fisher

I've auditioned so many times and been told I'm 'not sporty enough' or I'm 'not sexy.' — © Isla Fisher
I've auditioned so many times and been told I'm 'not sporty enough' or I'm 'not sexy.'
There have been many times when I've auditioned and I've actually won a different role in the same film.
A lot of people have told me, 'You're not this and so can't play that,' and I can't tell you the amount of times I've been told I'm not sexy. I don't wear my sexiness overtly doesn't mean that I can't become that girl for a role. That's what I do; I become things. Use your imagination.
A lot of people have told me, 'You're not this and so can't play that,' and I can't tell you the amount of times I've been told I'm not sexy. I just go: 'I'm a lot of things. Just because I don't wear my sexiness overtly doesn't mean that I can't become that girl for a role.
I have been told for so many years that you can't be smart and sexy. I started to think, "Well, why the heck can't you be both?"
I auditioned 5-6 times for 'Dangal.' I was just waiting for the final call, as there were about 15-16 girls who auditioned for the role.
I've been fortunate in my career, but, yes, there have been many times when I have been told my audition has been cancelled because they're only going to see white people.
They told me many times throughout my career to bite my tongue and I told them my tongue's been bleeding since I was born.
Many times, I was told what to lead with on MSNBC. Many times, I was told what I was not going to do.
If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high you'd laugh and say nothing that simple, but you've been told many times before messiah's point you to the door though no one's got the guts to leave the temple.
I don't even know how many times I auditioned for Danny Zuko in 'Grease.'
I had been a fan of the show [Flash] for many years, had auditioned several times, and knew it was coming towards the end of its run. I was just crossing my fingers and hoping that something worked out. It was such a dream come true.
I've been fortunate that the roles I've auditioned for, I auditioned because I felt I was the right actor to play that part.
I have been to Cuba many times. I have spoken many times with Fidel Castro and got to know Commander Ernesto Guevara well enough. I know Cuba's leaders and their struggle. It has been difficult to overcome the blockade. But the reality in Cuba is very different from that in Chile. Cuba came from a dictatorship, and I arrived at the presidency after being senator for 25 years.
The Holocaust story has been told and retold so many times.
I was rejected many times. I cried. I was told that female actors are replaceable in films because they just stand behind a guy anyway. I'm still used to being paid - like most actresses around the world - a lot less than the boys. We're told we're too provocative or that being sexy is our strength, which it can be, and it is, but that's not the only thing we have. But women have incredible endurance and incredible strength. Your ability to deal with it is within you.
I was told many times that my writing was either too Korean - or not Korean enough.
