alone behind capture family feeling kentucky realized
The powering thing behind the movie was to capture the feeling of being alone and going back to Kentucky and getting walloped by a sense of family I hadn't realized was so much in place,
best dad feeling guy history knew man passed properly seemed work
Tom's dad also passed away when he was a young man and he had that history of feeling he never really knew him properly - so he just seemed like the best guy to work with on this one,
alive arrived dad ends feeling grace happy listening love note simple
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. I love that simple story that ends on a grace note and you go, 'Wow, I'm just happy to be alive right now.' That was the feeling I was chasing.

Many people don't have an outlet for their feelings or how they can express life and not everybody in a relationship is the kind of person who wants to. But if you can write, you can find a good way to do it.

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,
