Hopefully I've done it, not in a pretentious way, but just as a cinematic mix, ... It is kind of a flourish. I didn't know if it would work. What I wanted it to be was authentic, the kind of music she would actually put on there. What I wouldn't want was it to be, 'Oh, that's that guy who always puts music in his movies doing a big thing with music'. I wanted it to be that girl's taste. And yeah, she would put Pride (In the Name of Love) on it. You do go for some obvious stuff when you make a mix tape because it reinvents itself.

Not that I took it as a fiasco at the time, but no one saw 'Almost Famous' in the theaters,

It is not pretentious. It just gives you the feeling you could do it yourself.

Hopefully it's not too bad.

The question is where do we go from here? The answer is -- life.
