![]() Holy shit, she’s coming towards me, gotta act natural!Ĭolin Hanks plays a writer who feels like an outcast. We really wanted to recreate that for the moment in our teen movie, where you lay eyes on the girl of your dreams for the first time: you’re at a party and suddenly, gotta play it cool, gotta play it cool. It’s one of the best synchs I’ve ever seen in my life. She walks into the party and everyone stops and stares at her and that Sneaker Pimps song, ‘6 Underground’ plays. When you see Jennifer Love Hewitt for the first time it’s awesome: she’s obviously so beautiful and they’ve been hyping her up through the movie. Any time a new character is introduced, it’s with some awesome song playing in the background. It’s kind of like Superbad, how it all takes place over one crazy night. As a closeted kid who was not aware about my sexuality in any way, I was like, ‘Oh something about that registers with me, wonder what it is!’ Kat Stratford (Julia Stiles) is just a badass, the archetype of someone who is a badass and doesn’t need a man. Samantha Ronson’s “Built This Way” at the end of the dance scene I definitely used as sonic inspiration for the songs on this album. That inspired “Get My Picture” for sure…. You can’t even hear “Pass That Dutch” without picturing the shot of the Plastics walking down the hallway. I don’t think I’m alone - most people in my generation can quote 15 to 30 Mean Girls references at any given time. #Never have i ever soundtrack movieMean Girls is probably the single most influential movie of my lifetime. Every single girl in my grade except for me and two other girls went to see it at the mall together - I was one of three people who didn’t see Mean Girls… But I’m totally over it, I’m fine! The type of movie I should like is Clueless. It definitely impacted me a lot but not as much as… Īs we were pre-teens and just starting to do the whole sleepover thing, Clueless was on everyone’s consciousness: “Oh, have you seen Clueless?” It was my archetype for a rom com: This is the type of movie geared towards me. My mom made me go to the principal’s office the next day and tell her I faked sick and promise I wouldn’t do it again. ![]() I was singing in Spanish - but like, obviously didn’t speak Spanish when I was five - so was I just mimicking the sounds I heard. The babysitter caught me jumping on the bed doing a fake concert. ![]() I got in trouble in kindergarten for faking sick so I could go home and listen to my Selena album. I was so fascinated by the music and the characters. I never felt like a musician’s musician. I saw Selena and Spice Girls when I was in kindergarten and both movies shaped my life. I wasn’t traditionally trained and I didn’t take guitar lessons. ![]() Movies were my way into music in a lot of ways. ![]()
