"Bitch! You are lucky I am letting you and your director have a shot at doing this film! I have plenty of other people who are interested, and if you can't treat me with respect, you can guarantee you will not get the project!"
They will either respect you for standing up for yourself, or you get to tell them off. Either way, you win. I think it's lame when people expect you to take abuse, and kiss ass, to get ahead in Hollywood. Fuck those assholes. There are a lot of people out here who like people to grovel, to make themselves feel important. But there are an equal amount of people in Hollywood who hate that bullshit.
