Be undeniably good. When people ask me how do you make it in show business or whatever, what I always tell them and nobody ever takes note of it ‘cuz it’s not the answer they wanted to hear — what they want to hear is here’s how you get an agent, here’s how you write a script, here’s how you do this — but I always say, “Be so good they can’t ignore you.” If somebody’s thinking, “How can I be really good?”, people are going to come to you. It’s much easier doing it that way than going to cocktail parties.

You want attention after you’re good, not before. Obscurity is your friend when you’re just starting….You don’t need the pressure of outside opinion…before you have anything to show. Millions of eyes…watching you every step of the way doesn’t help. All this attention is a distraction. Ship, then seek the spotlight.

Mostly, I think schools are for dipshits and traditional ways of going about things are for losers. You can see where that got me. Blogging. And writing to you. And ruing my life choices. Go if your parents pay. If they don’t, forget it, or you’ll end up with $50K in debt you can never hope to repay.
Susannah Breslin’s advice to a young journalist. Summarized: fuck school, don’t quit your day job, there are no breaks, run away!
