Talent, merit and the 1%

Talent includes the ability to entertain the masses and use your art to communicate universal human conditions.

I know a bit about movies having grown up around actors and then worked in the industry. When I caught up with an old school friend recently, I asked if he’d seen our mutual friend Sam Mendes. “Not for a few years,” he replied. “I realised our lives were going in different directions when he was off directing another Bond film and I was spending Christmas with my mum.”

My former friends and colleagues may have Oscars, but do they have a weekly column in the nation’s daily?

Excuse me for a moment while I review my life choices.
