Vocation

"Some people say Directing is a vocation, like being a Priest or a Doctor. It’s not remotely like being a Priest or a Doctor, but it may be a vocation, because no-one in their right mind would voluntarily go through the kind of hell that a Film Director has to go through."

-- Oliver Stapleton, BSC
