My personal advice is to go to school first and get a liberal arts education, and then if you want to pursue acting, go to graduate school.
Monotony collapses time; novelty unfolds it. You can exercise daily and eat healthily and live a long life, while experiencing a short one. If you spend your life sitting in a cubicle and passing papers, one day is bound to blend unmemorably into the next - and disappear.
I do struggle with how much and in which way, as an artist or celebrity, that you voice your political views.
