A quick quote from The Hollywood Rules indicating why filmmaking might, in fact, be a perfect match for me:

Anyone who thinks he has a story that’s worth spending $50 million or more to tell, who believes his vision is so compelling that tens of millions of people worldwide will be eager to give up $8 and two hours of their lives to share it, who has the guts and confidence to command an army of thousands and create an entire world from the ground up, is not likely to be a paragon of humility and self restraint.
