A lot of kids think they can just go to Hollywood and become an actor or actress. It's not that easy. There are millions of kids who come out here wanting to act. So, you have to have a plan, and you have to stick with that plan, because it's not going to be easy by any means.

My best advice about working in Hollywood is: Save your money!

Whatever God gave you, you have to work that to your best ability - especially out here in Hollywood, the land of beautiful people.

The government needs the help of industry. But the reality is companies will balance that against their own commercial interest in a very competitive market.
