Jackson is immediately smitten with Ally and invites her to his next show and fly’s her on a private jet and when she arrives at the show, he coaxes her into the spotlight and invites her to sing with him on stage. She was a hit and she starts singing with the band. But even as Ally’s career is taking off, the personal side of their relationship is breaking down as Jackson fights an ongoing battle with drugs, alcohol and his own inner demons.
Movie Quotes
“Jack talked about how music is essentially twelve notes between any octave. Twelve notes and the octave repeats. It’s the same story told over and over, forever. All any artist can offer the world is how they see those twelve notes. That’s it. He loved how you see them.” – Bobby
“Hey!” – Jackson
“What?” – Ally
“I just wanted to take another look at you.” – Jackson
“Look, talent comes everywhere, but having something to say and a way to say it so that people listen to it, that’s a whole other bag. And unless you get out and you try to do it, you’ll never know. that’s just the truth. And there’s one reason we’re supposed to be here is to say something so people want to hear. So you got to grab it, and you don’t apologize, and you don’t worry about why they’re listening, or how long they’re going to be listening for, you just tell them what you want to say. Don’t you understand what I’m trying to tell you?” – Jackson
“I’m off the deep end. Watch as I dive in. I never meet the ground. Crash through the surface, where they can’t hurt us. We’re far from the shallow now.” – Ally
