On working with Lawrence Kasdan and Cameron Crowe, and Writer-Directors in general: "I'd love to establish relationships with other writer-directors, too, but Chasing Amy is what got things going for me, and I'll always stick by Kevin." On his performance as a rock star in Almost Famous: "I wanted to be very serious about being a musician -- a guy who cares a lot about the music and the band and why we did it in the first place. We wanted to show an actual passion on stage with the intent of turning on the audience."
