Veronica, Italian. This blog is just an ode to the awesomesauceness that Stana Katic, is, inside and out. I believe in destiny, and I think everyone of us has its own path ahead. It is only a matter to find it.

Why do you think Castle has been able to avoid the so-called moonlighting curse?

” The relationship is about so much more than these two characters sleeping together. It’s about a real friendship and a real love — two imperfect people finding each other and becoming better together. It’s relatable and something to aspire to”

archemicstar: When did you decide to go to Los Angeles? What were your plans and how were they different from the reality you found?I came to Los Angeles in the summer, after I finished at the academy. My parents gave me some money and their blessing, and I drove for four days to Los Angeles. I thought I had a firm agreement with the agency, but when I arrived, I found that wasn’t the case. I came to Hollywood, but I’m not doing this for fame, but for the art. Anyways, I came here without an agent, acquaintances, and with very little money. I knew that if I wanted to stay, I’d have to do everything on my own. […] The first few months really weren’t easy. I slept in hostels, sometimes in the car, just to save money. After a while, I got a job - I sold furniture in a department store in Los Angeles - which made it a little easier because I was able to rent an apartment. Shortly after that, I met my manager, with whom I still work with today, and started to make my way into film and television. Do you believe in fate?I believe that everyone is responsible for their own happiness. I believe that anything is possible. Of course, you need a lot of hard work and a strong will. I am convinced that everyone - and I really mean this - is able to achieve their dreams. So, do I believe in fate? No, I believe in dreams and serious, tedious work. [x] || [x]

Do you believe in fate?
I believe that everyone is responsible for their own happiness. I believe that anything is possible. Of course, you need a lot of hard work and a strong will. I am convinced that everyone - and I really mean this - is able to achieve their dreams. So, do I believe in fate? No, I believe in dreams and serious, tedious work. [x] || [x]

“It makes it weird to work in this industry sometimes. When I need to get a moment of perspective, when I feel as if I’m getting ridiculous about something, I’ll just go away and try to communicate or become in communion with truth, and then I realize how ridiculous all these worries are. They mean nothing! In 300 years what will any of us or our little problems mean to people?”

❝It was a difficult decision. I remember I was trying to decide, and then I left it to destiny. I threw the dices, and I decided that if my number came out I had to leave. And my number came out. Then I decided to move out in a month, I threw the dices and my number came out again” (Stana) Laugh, remembering, even if then the laugh becomes emotion. “When I was leaving, I was very nervous, also because it was going to be a four days travel on the road, alone, and I didn’t knew if my car could make it. Then my mom came to me and gave me one of her necklaces to protect me. And that was it. I left her, my dad, everyone else, and I moved to L.A”, tells the actress, and the memory of that moment moves her until tears.❞

❝It’s funny, you don’t really know what you have until an outsider comes in. So when we have guest stars come in, they always go “Wow, you guys have a wonderful set”. From the crew to the actors, people feel very welcomed and I hope encouraged to bring their best work forward. So I think that’s telling of what the chemistry’s like on set❞

❝I like the women who had a strong and fearless style. A good example was Slim Keith, a style icon and socialite from the ’50s. Lauren Bacall and Katharine Hepburn were also style pioneers for woman back then. They were wearing pants, ties and they were smoking. They were sometimes referred to as dames or broads. I also like a woman, such as Madonna, who has that independent spirit and does as she pleases — doesn’t care what anyone thinks.❞
-Stana Katic - NY Times interview 
❝I think everybody fears something and then you work through it, and that’s where courage comes in. But in filmmaking specifically, you can’t lead with fear, you have to lead with courage. If you want to tell interesting, impactful stories you can’t be hampered by anyone’s theories of what filmmaking should be. So that’s what I thought would be a great way to start a film company — just create that kind of mantra for filmmaking, create interesting, impactful stories that aren’t blocked by peoples’ opinions of, ‘Oh, I can’t make it for this much money,’ or, ‘That kind of story will never fly.’ It’s just about creating amazing stories.❞

❝It’s not wrong for us to have a woman who is sweet, kind, vulnerable, strong, angry, ambitious, and loving all in one package. We can do that, and I think that’s a character I admire and look forward to continue playing.❞
