Mm, not sure I buy that.  Speaking as a fairly new parent, it IS easy to
get obsessed and trying to get really good at it is the norm, not the
exception.  I've wanted to be a writer since I was in kindergarten, but
being a writer isn't enough to get me out of bed four or more times a night
when I'm completely exhausted.  Being a father is.  I'm not sure I'd run
back into a burning house to save the hard drive with my work on it, but
I'd run back for my son.

So, when Christopher Lee was getting direction from George Lucas, do you
suppose he just closed his eyes and pretended it was Peter Jackson?
