IF I GAVE A LIST OF RULES TO MY 21-YEAR-OLD SELF TODAY, HERE'S WHAT I'D SAY.
My dream paradise--Honfleur, France, 1989. Go there as often as you can
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stay Away from your mother. She's going to try to "kill you" every chance she gets.
Be closer to your aunts, uncles and cousins.
In Hollywood, most people lie to your face.
Once a liar, always a liar. RUN!
Trust no one.
Be glad you never let go of God.
Develop a people detector to see immediately who's using you and who is real.
Try to develop your authentic self and stay with it as much as you can.
All that killing yourself for your career will be worth it.
You are right not to have children.
Pay attention to what you eat.
Don't give up tennis.
Don't ever sell your cars. They will be classics one day and worth a fortune.
Don't just drop people you love if there's a problem. Talk, talk, talk until it's resolved one way or the other.
Go back to the piano lessons or you'll be sorry later.
You're right. Music will be your salvation always.
USC will enhance your life forever.
Watch people's actions, not their words.
Follow the Golden Rule.
Watch and listen. People will always reveal who they really are.
If you are lucky enough to experience the real "in love" once in your life, guard it forever and consider yourself blessed.
Only let people in who enhance your life.
You will realize that trig and chemistry (along with others) were a waste of time. You were right all along.
Learn everything you can about how money works so you aren't crippled in the world.
Travel everywhere you can, even if you think you don't want to go there.
Your friendships are like flowers. You must water them or they die---and your friends must do so in return.
Never settle for crumbs. You deserve the whole loaf.
Don't ever lose yourself in someone else's life
You must remember to take care of your own happiness first. That's not being selfish. It allows you to give to others without resentment.
