Cameron Crowe Music Quotations

I mean, Internet radio, which is basically a guy with his iTunes putting it over the computer, is the only way you're going to get true eclectic music programmed.

Music is like the other person in this film and it's really important for Orlando's character. It leads him on his journey and is with him on his road trip.

Music is such an inspiration to me. I love it when it completes a story, along with the words and image,

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.

The power of music is still with me, every day. It's one of the most inspiring things available in the world.

I have a desire to work with some actors I really like, so I hope to get out there soon and be back at it - maybe a little less music in the next one.

We used music in the film to create an environment. It made it feel like we were telling our story with a little extra -- a little extra soul.

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.

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.

I just think if you play it, it seeps in, it seeps into the performances, it seeps into the atmosphere of the movie. And a lot of times I used the music ... while they were doing the scene.
