advice angels appear character expect generally gone help life people piece sends surprising
Life sends you angels sometimes when you're in need and, in my theory, it's usually never the people you expect to be there. They are often gone the people that appear with a piece of advice or something they want to give to you to help you through are generally surprising people and I wanted Kirsten's character to be that.
american-director bigger both expect kinds movies scale smaller
Well all kinds of movies that you wouldn't expect that I'd want to do, both bigger scale and smaller scale than the ones I've done.
bigger easy expect failure jerry people success surprised truly
And I'm always surprised at who's there when you fail, ... It's usually not the people you expect to be there. It's easy to have friends when you're winning. And Jerry Maguire was kind of about that. This was about that, but it's like success and failure get trumped by an even bigger issue, which is, 'Are you going to be truly alive, and do you even know what that is?'
begin drew ending liked ready starting
I liked the idea of starting the movie with the ending and ending it with the beginning, ... I feel that by the end Drew is ready to begin again.

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. And then you think maybe you see this movie later on TV and you start to think, 'Well, you know what? I get it. That all these themes are supposed to be part of a bigger simpler theme.'
fiasco saw took
Not that I took it as a fiasco at the time, but no one saw 'Almost Famous' in the theaters,
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.
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,

I told everyone I would bring (the movie) back,
call exploited gotta love music people rock sanctity song yours
It used to be, like, the sanctity of rock was that you could never let a song of yours be used in a commercial. It was like, 'Oh man, we'll never let our music be exploited that way.' Now they'll call you up and say, 'You gotta use this song in your movie, man. It's the new VW ad! People love it.' And you realize, boy, have times changed.
