William: It's as if I've taken love heroin, and now I can't ever have it again. [Notting Hill ] (Allard J)
With 2 movies opening this summer, I have no relaxing time at all. Whatever I have is spent in a drunken stupor. (Allard J)
The Virgin Suicides score is really good. Lots of Air. And About A Boy , that Hugh Grant movie, has lots of cool stuff by Badly Drawn Boy. I had it on my Christmas list one year and my parents didn't get it because they thought I was kidding (Allard J)
But the difference between a good film and real life is that in real life, there's the next day, the next year, the next lifetime to contemplate the ruinous consequences of easy applause. (Allard J)
[Hurley, whose most famous film is] Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, ... Four Weddings and a Funeral. (Allard J)
[Talking about an X-Men Kissing scene]
I had to lay down there and think of England as one by one they bring out the girls. It was a very tough morning... After each girl had finished, the crew would hold up scorecards. (Allard J)
He moves beautifully, he sings beautifully, and he's a good actor. But that's very rare, I think. And he didn't come from the movies; he came from theater and went into the movies. (Allard J)
I'm not doing Bond (Allard J)
When you're playing an icon like Wolverine, it's sometimes better to be someone that nobody knows because they don't know what to expect, ... I don't mind a little bit of anonymity; it helps on the subway. (Allard J)
If You Could See Me Now. (Allard J)
I think almost everything. I mean, the process of hair and makeup is the same, hang me by my feet and spray three cans of hairspray on my hair. But, I felt so much more confident on this film, not in an arrogant way, but I think if I didn't admit it to myself, on the first one, I was pretty scared that first month. I landed the part a week into shooting, it was my first Hollywood movie, and it was fun, but it was pretty overwhelming. So, I don't think I really felt like I had the character for probably three or four weeks ... I can go back to X-Men I and see the scenes where I'm sort of there, but it's not fully in focus for me. So, starting again from the beginning, being able to get ready physically, being able to work to get in the right shape ... In every part of it, it was easier. I think everyone in the studio was giving us more leeway to do what we wanted. I felt like I owned the character more. (Allard J)
It is fair to say I am obsessed with that series. I am like a junkie looking for series two. (Allard J)
I play one of the greatest magicians of the time period. It's an incredibly original story, a mind bender with twists and turns. The entire script is a magic trick. (Allard J)
Mr. and Mrs. Little have won tonight! (Allard J)
That was the big effect Lord of the Rings had on me. It was discovering New Zealand. And even more precious were the people- not at all like the Australians. (Allard J)
The movie Spinal Tap rocked my world. It's for rock what The Sound of Music was for hills. They really nailed how dumb rock can be. (Allard J)
I played, like, a year of piano until I learned the Pink Panther theme. That was my goal. Once I was good enough, I quit. Now my music has to have some rock. (Allard J)
But he's got vision, and he's got tremendous ambition. He wants to make the greatest film ever made. (Allard J)
I had a bit of a lost weekend while we were doing King Kong. Overall I'm very responsible on set. I'm not one of those dudes who come drunk to the set. (Allard J)
I'm going to continue doing what I want to do. And if it means I want to go and make a big movie, if it has something to say, I will want to make it. I don't want to spend my life wasting my time. If it's a big movie, I want to do it. If it's a small movie, I want to do it. (Allard J)
We were talking about the kissing in the movie just recently. Clearly, it's pretty challenging material, but Ang said two men herding sheep was far more sexual than two men having sex on screen. (Allard J)
