‘One Broke Actress’ podcast host Sam Valentine talks about the tools necessary to create a long-lasting acting career.
When you are trying to build a career, it’s going to take a long time. … And if we’re going to be doing this for a long time, you have to be healthy. Figuring out ways to sustain being available and good [at your work] involves more than just being here. It requires so much of you physically, financially and mentally.
