came dad great hated loved
It's not a movie about, 'My dad and I, we hated each other and then we came to know that we loved each other.' No. I loved my dad. He was a great guy. I just didn't know him as an adult.
dad kentucky life similar tom
Tom and I have a similar sensibility and experience. You know his dad was from Kentucky where I set the film, and so was mine. That's where he died. His mom's really important in his life and so is mine,

The whimsical side of my dad really comes through in this movie.

She loves Susan Sarandon and I know my dad (would have loved) being married to Susan Sarandon, ... Susan said she learned more about how to play the part from talking to my mom than to me.

I always thought I'd write about my dad, at some point, ... I didn't think it would be like this, but it arrived like this. I'd been listening to a lot of Garrison Keillor at the time.

again bigger character develop double favorites gets later listen maybe simpler start supposed themes tv
I like double albums, ... And this was kind of a double album. And with double albums, sometimes you say, 'Well this is a whole lot to process.' But then you listen to it again and you start to develop favorites and it gets a character all its own.

Not that I took it as a fiasco at the time, but no one saw 'Almost Famous' in the theaters,
change dance discussion hudson kate knew name people playing terrible theaters toughest
I knew 'Almost Famous' wasn't playing in theaters at that long length. And really, it wasn't one of those terrible squabbles that you read about, where people want to change their name or anything. Our toughest discussion was, did Kate Hudson dance too long? It wasn't that big of a deal.
miss sound time
I miss Kentucky, I miss the sound of the cicadas, and I want to come back from time to time.

I've done some of the same things that Orlando does in the movie, for sure,
