When I went to audition and Joss (Whedon) walked in and we started talking, I just thought, "Wow! This is amazing. This experience is going to be incredible." And that's just how it worked, everything seemed so easy and it just flowed. Believe me when I tell you it's not easy. It's not easy auditioning day after day after day, but when something falls into place like that it's just incredible.
