Excuse me, I'm still young and arrogant and want to be rich and famous before I'm 25. Perhaps that's not the best mindset to approach this from.

:)

I guess that depends on what you're doing. For me? Not so much as being rich and famous as it is about paying the bills while helping solve problems people have.

Also, you're making me feel older than I should. Please get off my lawn ;)

20? You're old, man. You're like leather jackets and top hats. You've seen the 80s. It's like wack.

I'm one of those annoying disciples who thinks that being rich and famous is the totally coolest part of America, and I bug everybody else trying to be it. Either 7 years from now I'll grow up, or 2 years from now I'll totally be one of those hip Hollywood cats.

You mean the Hollywood that is filled with lots of crime and prostitution and illicit drug dealing where there aren't any tourists? ;)

(Sorry, I live in LA. Can't help it.)

Psh, I dunno what you're talking about. I think Hollywood and I mean Zac Efron and Miley Cyrus and all the stars.

There's a quote often attributed (I don't know for sure if he actually said it or not) to comedian Bill Murray on the topic of being rich and famous that says something along the lines of "Try being just rich first and see if that isn't enough for you." Seems like an approach worth considering.

I think you should add 'whip smart' to that list.

I've been going through some of your writings and I'm quite impressed.
