'The Notebook' star Ryan Gosling said his dream of breaking Hollywood is either a "premonition or a delusion".
The 33-year-old actor left everything behind to pursue his dream of becoming a Hollywood bigshot, reported Contactmusic.
"Everyone's left their family, their homes, their friends [and] their jobs, to pursue a dream, where they know that the percentage of them achieving that dream is never and they do it anyway," he said.
The actor said luck plays a part in securing an audition and insists fear of the competition can often get in the way.
"You're lucky to get an audition. Then you get it, you get there [at the audition], you walk into a room full of guys that look just like you. You realise that you're not the only one that wore a cowboy hat. Then you can hear the other guy in the other room auditioning," he said.
Gosling will hit the big screen later this year in 'How to Catch a Monster', alongside Christina Hendricks and Eva Mendes.
