So it is fair enough that you are paying me what I ask for, because it is my name you are using to sell the film. If the producer gives me a guarantee that he will sell the film at a lower price to the distributors, fair enough, then I will charge less!
Smart, well-meaning people get it wrong when they start believing that the world owes them something and that the rules are different for them.
All through life I've harbored anger rather than expressed it at the moment.
