Quotes
"People want to read what you are least eager to reveal, but there's a way to write it that would make people cringe, and a way that makes people cry or laugh. I sure hope I fall into the better camp there."—September 25, 2008The Santa Barbara Independent: Funnyman Evan Handler Reflects on Life's Lessons (September 25, 2008)"There have been times when it felt like I went back to being the same person. I didn't turn to God and become born again. I didn't retreat from big city life or remain vegetarian or macrobiotic. Other times I think I have been completely shaped by those experiences. I think my life has become about trying hard to move beyond the cancer."—March 31, 2008WebMD: Actor Evan Handler on Life After Cancer (March 31, 2008)

Californication is the same story every week ... with a little extra Evan Handler/Kathleen Turner nastiness thrown in.

@simps @BRIANMBENDIS The only way to be crueler would be to hit Chik Fil A and call Evan Handler for this occasion. http://pic.gd/c8d6a5

Evan Handler's character Runkle on Californication is really, really, really getting annoying. That's 3 "reallys" for 3 seasons of annoying.
