Don’t expect others to listen to your advice and ignore your example.
H. Jackson Brown Jr.H. Jackson Brown Jr. My ideas come when I least expect it, so I’ve always got to have a studio nearby or close by somewhere.
AkonAkon The only thing my famous last name got me was a foothold in the industry. That was the easy part. The biggest problem is survival. As Fazil’s son, I am expected to know everything – acting, dancing, horse riding… I am not trained in all these, and I don’t think I ever will be.
