I learned that kids in show business are so different from regular, average students. They would gather behind you and help you to succeed in any way possible. ↗

A student will send me an urgent appeal to hear her, saying she is poor and wants my advice as to whether it is worth while to continue her studies. I invariably refuse such requests. ↗
