CAMERON CROWE:
Oh, man. The movie was a love letter to music and to my family. So, I dedicate this to all the musicians who inspire us, and to my family: Alice Crowe, Cindy Weber, and Nancy Wilson, my incredible wife and collaborator. Thanks. Thank you, DreamWorks, Vinyl Films, Andy Fischer, Scott Martin, Lisa Stewart, Neal Preston, Danny Bramson, and this incredible cast and crew. Kate, you're magnificent. Frances, I couldn't dream of a greater way to live out the screenplay that is based on my hopes and dreams. So also it wouldn't be complete without saying hello to the master himself, Mr. Billy Wilder. So here's to you, Audrey and Billy. And thank you so much, everybody.
