No I didn’t audition, I didn’t even know David Lynch till the week before I started the film.
Meaning of the quote
Richard Farnsworth, an American actor, had a surprising start to the film he worked on. He didn't even know the director, David Lynch, until just a week before he began filming the movie. Farnsworth didn't have to audition for the role either - he was simply offered the part without going through the usual process. This shows that sometimes unexpected opportunities can come your way, even if you're not actively seeking them out.
