I wish I had known that I have to live near where the action is. Not 20 miles away or even more. That it is better to get a simple job (waitressing,or so...) because that gives you more time. I wish I had started saving for it when I was like 10 yr old. LOL but really I wish I had more savings. You will really need a car. I wish had known that partying is fun...but eventually will get you off track. That it is ok to have roomates. I wish I had moved there even younger. That January is pilot season. Wich is a great season to move to LA. That whoever appears in your life saying that they are going to help or are just really too much interested in helping you out...usually have their own plans for you, usually not related to acting. Their plans may include a different life far from your dreams...o fullfill their dreams through you. Finally,Once you are there keep going foward by yourself, with courage and faith.
