Robyn Malcolm was a complete dick. The trouble with some NZ actors, being a big fish in a puddle, is they get a very warped view on their importance in the world.

The truth for NZ creatives, is that sometimes you suck up lower pay for an amazing opportunity, ie exposure to a global audience. It entirely depends on whether you are looking at your career from a right now, or long term perspective. An actor/singer/writer/artist, is entitled to NOTHING on the global stage. If you want to make it, you play the game, you learn, you make contacts, you take opportunities, and you make your way up the ladder. Of course there are things that suck, and aren't fair. But guess how much foreign studios/publishers give a fuck about that. If you take the hits, prove yourself, make them money, they become a lot more amiable to negotiation. That's life in the corporate creative world.

An ex of mine was into theatre and we'd often see a few Shithead street stars at parties etc. Virtually all of them thought they were fucken Brad Pitt or Kate Winslet. The wankery from the majority of them was just sickening.

As someone has said on here ( possibly you @Mokey ) the genuine stars who have actually made it are often the most polite and gracious.

Yep, I think I've shared the story before of when I was at Uni, and one of my flatmates was a chef on the set of Hercules and Xena. We went to quite a few cast shindigs. Michael Hurst, Bruce Campbell, and Kevin Sorbo were lovely. Those who also had roles on Shortland St were so far up their own arse they needed night vision goggles.

That was carry over non stories from last week to be fair, Lorde has new album out so there's plenty of scope in her twitter account I would have though.
