Cameron Crowe Quotes
Conception of a film starts with the music. Always. I hear the movie before I can ever write it. I would say that 80% of the time, that's the successful stuff. It's the other stuff I have to work for to get right, and sometimes it doesn't work out, but the music is always the beginning. So I'm still a music journalist.

There's money smart, there's movie smart, there's computer smart. There's just too many different kinds of smarts for people to know all the smarts.
