""I met David while preparing to make Vanilla Sky, a challenging New York movie that would star Tom Cruise. Cruise himself had told me about McGiffert. They'd worked together several times (as you'll read in McGiff's terrific accounts to follow) and Cruise indicated that we'd be lucky to get him. ""He's the best."" - Cameron Crowe"
