I love the road trip. It was one of the original justifications to make the movie. So I want the movie to earn that road trip. And to me, that means calibrate it so that the fourth side of that double CD set is set up properly and it all makes sense. |
I loved her audition/work session. Her emotions were so close to the surface, |
I married a musician, music is everywhere I turn, thankfully. Yeah, a lot of times the ideas for a movie, or even the way I cast a movie, comes from driving around in my car and listening to tapes and thinking, 'Kate Hudson floating on a Joni Mitchell song.' That's a good scene. |
I miss Kentucky, I miss the sound of the cicadas, and I want to come back from time to time. |
I remember loving that album, ... Frampton took me into the studio and played me that album and I thought it was the greatest party album that I'd heard in a long time, and so I wrote the liner notes and the album became huge. |

I sort of wanted to make a comment on the obsession with success and failure that we see so often in America. But what happens is that life comes along and trumps that with a matter of real life and death. |
I think that fate has a really good sense of humor, ... We had come from Toronto where people had given us a standing ovation, and the public screening had gone really well, but then afterward you hear, well, the press -- there was a less adoring reaction. |
I told everyone I would bring (the movie) back, |
I told them, 'Don't even think about the camera. It may not even be near you. Just have the party.' And then there's somebody in the middle of them shooting film. |
I turned around and she kind of had some tears in her eyes. |
I wanted it to feel like a short story, but it's a long short story, |

I was certainly more vulnerable, in a sense, but I also felt more open to it, ... Elizabethtown. |
I was fortunate to work with actors who loved music too. Just seeing what it would do to their manner and their faces was great and it helped give the story a little more soul. |
