There's kidnapping, human skinning (and donning), human killing (and eating), unwelcomed public masturbation (and… sharing), mind games, criminals, memories of animal slaughter, local police, and bad pantsuits.

Broadway favorite Neil Patrick Harris is featured in this week's edition of Entertainment Weekly, wher e he gives his own list of Hollywood survival avice. Harris writes, 'I was very musical at a young age. So much so that Churchill Cooke, our elementary school band and choir director, let me teach parts in the choir when I was in the fourth grade. First I played the xylophone, then marimba, cymbals, French horn, bassoon - I became a sort of jack-of-all-trades. It's a mindset that I think never really left me. Mr. Cooke would say, 'We need an oboe part for this piece, Neil. Learn oboe.' And I would say, 'Sure, Mr. Cooke. Who needs friends?'
