Rules of acting

One of the rules people give you for your career is to only interact with those who are successful and positive in the career you are in. Winners only hang out with winners.

It's insidious and explains a lot. Why people tend to shun someone when they know they are out of a job or about to be let go. They don't want it 'catching'.

It's sick but it's a side that shows how ruthless any career can be, especially in the acting world where it's all about how you look and where you fit in -- and how much your work is based on the whim of a stranger whose eye you happen to catch. It's all timing and tenacity but another thing is politics.

I continue to rise above the interesting commentary being done by those who want to box themselves out because they got a couple of gigs in a row and immediately when they hear someone else gets a few too, they migrate to them and can't pat themselves on the back hard enough while also giving a compliment to the other! Actors are always about the self-promote but giving a compliment without shoving themselves in about their own progress would be sweet.

And the one I would probably marry. Which is why they say if you are an actor, you should never marry another actor. Just too much ego involved and no one wants to take the second seat or take turns with the front seat.
