Spending long afternoons with a sketchbook or talking through your ideas with other people can save a year in software development later on.

The heartthrob thing came in the late 1960s, and to be honest, it was fun! But I was very aware that well-known actors are two people - who you are and who other people think you are. Life only gets tricky if you confuse the two.
