Don't pee on my leg and call it brilliant

    I love when people say things like, "Oh! The book was only a success because they made the movie! It was the actors that made the characters work!" - No. It was the book, the play, and screenplay that appealed so much that they wanted to make a movie or television series out of it. Actors do not create these characters, stories, and plots.

    Writers are not simply a muse to the "talent", they are the ventriloquist and others are just sitting on their lap. Unfortunately, the only thing that ventriloquist gets is pee on their leg. They are highly underpaid in comparison to actors, directors, producers.
