Charlie Puth

I want to give you this advice, even though I know that you have no respect for me and won't listen.

By now you know that I have some talent as a mimic. I think that's what your talent also boils down to, so far.

You can't build a life on mimicry; it will always fall apart. If you build your actions and your life around principle, your personality will fall into place around that.

Knowing how to match your actions to principle is something that you get from experience, reading, role models and contemplation.  It's everything that American culture as saturated by the M&E industry doesn't encourage people to do.
