You just need to reign in the fanfares and self-promotion a bit, is all. But yes, you're cool.

Thank you very much. I'm a fan of your work of what I've seen.
And I know what you mean about the overconfidence. I'm going to spend the next couple of months writing and not bothering a single soul. That's a promise

Stand next to me for a bit - your overconfidence and my crushing underconfidence - we'd become happy neutrals.

We could be the new Gervais & Merchant. One cocky and so self-ensured it often annoys many of his critics and the other who quietly gets on with the job but doesn't crave the attention.
Ach, with me in the team it'd be more Stinklestein and Bryant - voted world's least successful writing team - the award being the ulimate paradox in their career.
Quote: Simon B @ September 12 2009, 8:22 AM BSTNot exactly true. The 'Invention of Lying' script, written by virtual unknown Matthew Robinson, was read by Gervais. They subsequently co-wrote/ directed the film:
Yeah but Robinson's script was already with a big company and they wanted the right person working with him, Gervais read and was offered it, he accepted. I thought we were talking completely unknown writers as they don't read scripts from complete unknowns i.e. writers with no agent.
