I had no control. Part of it was a conscious decision. Everybody kept hammering on me and saying, 'You can't have your fingerprint on this. If you do, then it's not going to be accurate. You've got to let somebody objective tell your story.' And, honestly, I've only seen the film one and a half times, a rough cut.[Laughs] Yeah, walked out on my own film. No, he wanted me to watch the first half again.
One thing Celine Dion keeps saying a couple of times in the doc is "he makes songs that live forever." You're in pursuit of the hit.

I think Renee could catch a wave, but is she going to have a career as a singer? Probably not, no, but in this particular moment she could catch a wave. But I'll tell you, the biggest slot available right now — the Neil Diamond slot. Where's that young good-looking kid with a guitar slung over his back that writes three-chord songs that the whole world wants to sing? Not country. Pop. Where's that guy? That slot's wide open. I won't be filling it, probably.
