More quotes by Cameron Crowe
Optimism is a revolutionary act
Cameron Crowe
We tried to present an emotional scrapbook of what it felt like to be a band member on this 20-year journey.
Cameron Crowe
I'm impossible to forget, but I'm hard to remember.
Cameron Crowe
You will never know the exquisite pain of the guy who goes home alone. Cause without the bitter, baby, the sweet ain't as sweet.
Cameron Crowe
Time puts things in proper perspective.
Cameron Crowe
If you try to write something that's memorable, you'll never get it. Sometimes it's the way the actor says the words that make it memorable.
Cameron Crowe
What you believe one day isn't what you believe the next day and I think every writer secretly believes that they may never be able to do write good song or script again, but they can.
Cameron Crowe
Great music is its own movie, already. And the challenge, as a music fan, is to keep the song as powerful as it wants to be, to not tamper with it and to somehow give it a home.
Cameron Crowe
I just love when a movie takes a break and gives you a poetic moment, but sometimes it's good when they just happen randomly. If your actors are really comfortable and you let the camera roll, sometimes things happen and you just see something that's visually iconic, or emotionally that way.
Cameron Crowe
The future isn't just something that happens. It's a brutal force, with a great sense of humor, that'll steamroll you if you're not watching.
Cameron Crowe
I wanted to make a comment on the obsession with success and failure that we see a lot in America.
Cameron Crowe
I always tell the girls never take it seriously, if you never take it seriously you never get hurt, if you never get hurt you always have fun, and if you ever get lonely just go to the record store and visit your friends.
Cameron Crowe
And I liked that whole idea that energy comes from not disseminating your ideas and talking about them.

RRC remains the best publication to hit my mailbox
Cameron Crowe
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.
Cameron Crowe
I always loved song writers who wrote songs in the first person, so it's kind of like that.
Cameron Crowe
Probably having fallen in love with music and movies at a young age and then first learning about writing by kind of following the path of writers like Dave Marsh and Lester Bangs and being a rock journalist.
Cameron Crowe
You just never know if people out there will relate to things when you write them it matters to you, and to some people it doesn't. Some people are 'I'm not in the mood for that thanks.'
Cameron Crowe
I always loved movies, but I never thought I would presume to be a screenwriter and definitely not a director. I spent a lot of time for no money trying to teach myself how to write a script. It always felt like everybody was looking the other way and sneaking that script through the system, but it did well later on video and got another chance.
Cameron Crowe
The power of music is still with me, every day. It's one of the most inspiring things available in the world. I write with music. I write scenes in movies that hopefully can earn the use of some songs that are powerful to me. But, I think it just came from being affected by strong, personal art.
