Searching for "the one"

LOVE ––

It’s a word people use very loosely. (I say it all the time.) It’s a feeling that’s actually impossible to describe. It’s something we think we understand until we meet someone we feel even more powerful about.

It may mean something different to each and every person – we have no way of knowing.

There’s no way to measure it or see it. We just FEEL it. And we all WANT it.  Read the rest of this entry »

Yesterday my acting partner, Nick sent me a link to an article Ken Levine wrote during TV Pilot Season last year. It’s fun to read whether you’re in the TV business, trying to be in the TV business or just watch TV.

I texted back —

So funny! Love it for my blog.

Nick’s comeback —

FUNNY?!  It made me cry!

I mean, Nick’s technically right. It’s ultra-depressing that one of the prerequisites of a Hot Girl role is that the producers look for someone “guys wanna f#@k.” And trust me, this is absolutely true. A major TV producer told me that point blank! Read the rest of this entry »

Thought I’d start the first week of the NEW YEAR in the NEW DECADE with a few “Optimistic Evie-isms.”

• Kindness is contagious, so keep spreading it.
