Personal Quote:

I just sort of fear that everybody does it now. Everything's hip, every commercial's hip. It almost makes you want to do a Mancini-type score, because nobody's doing it. It would set itself apart more than a pop score now. So the goal was, in this movie, to try some different things. [on the score for Elizabethtown] See more »

Trivia:

Son of Alice Marie Crowe. 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 »
