Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

Little did I know that work-in-progress is a code for many things. In a press situation, it can mean the movie's not going to come out. It can mean the movie's not going to change at all, but if you don't like it we'll change it. Or it can mean the truth, which is it's a work-in-progress. See more »

Trivia:

Nancy Wilson filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences". She listed June 15, 2008 as their date of separation. [Late September 2010] See more »

Trademark:

His films frequently contain scenes where a character sings a song in a car (John Mahoney sings "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" in Say Anything..., Tom Cruise sings "Free-fallin'" in Jerry Maguire, the band sings "Tiny Dancer" in Almost Famous). The one to note specifically is Cameron Diaz in Vanilla Sky, who does not sing in the car but plays a CD in which she is the singer. See more »
