At this point, I don't listen to other people too much. I'm not really that affected by anyone.
I could never play the ingenue, the girl next door or the very successful young doctor. That would be a bore.
Some think that by preparing to deal with crises you make them more likely. I think the wiser judgment is the contrary. In this area at least, if you want peace or stability, it's better to prepare for war or instability.
