Emma Stone on Starting Out in Hollywood

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly for her upcoming teen comedy Easy A, Emma Stone talks about what her life was like before hitting it big with movies like Superbad and Zombieland:

I used to do six auditions a week. It was brutal, but it was so important. I had mental breakdowns probably every three months. And every time I would have a bawling-on-the-floor fit, my mom would say, ‘Do you want to go home?’ And every time, no matter how upset I was, I was like, ‘No way!’ There was that perseverance in me. It’s not that I was better than the other kids. I was just obsessed.
