There's nothing to warm the cockles quite like a good bit of self-deprecation. Kate Nash has got it down to a fine art, as she tells people that despite writing for the past four years, she's only been good for the last two, and most of that good writing has been in the last eight months. Honesty, the best policy. Unless you're a politician or something.
