Don't Burn Yourself Out

Bardot starred in 47 films and recorded more than 50 songs before calling it quits and retreating to be a reclusive cat lady. If you want your career to last more that 21 years, consider being kind to yourself. Constant drinking, partying, and working leaves very little time for self-care. If it's not the guilt from being a bigoted-asshole that's caused Bardot to age awfully, then it's probably exhaustion. Remember to slow down sometimes and maybe you can make it to 45 before you give up on people altogether.
