...subject matter that I’m interested in, that I love talking about with Cameron—the effects of pop culture on society, what is casual sex, what is love. And to have Cameron Crowe direct you and write you in this kind of story??we knew you had to go hard to the basket with it.

And he’s a good story??a below-average manager and a nice guy who had the good fortune to join the Yankees when the payroll hit $100 million. But then he’ll put Derek Jeter—who had a mediocre season—on the All-Star team ahead of Oakland’s Miguel Tejada, and invite about 80 other undeserving Yankees to the Midsummer Classic, and you?...
