A film goes through so many hands, that by the time it's done, it might not resemble what you thought you were making. (Allard J)
A lot of producers cookie cut movies one after another, but I'll be a little more careful, and have the opportunity to be, because I have the acting career to subsidize the producing. (Allard J)
But at the same time, I think there are some messages: Way of the Gun is anti-gun in a lot of ways. (Allard J)
I am miserable when I'm in a movie I'm not proud of and a movie that I don't want to do. (Allard J)
I learn so much more in an ensemble movie. (Allard J)
I want to be able to effect some sort of change in the business, by being a more decent producer, making more positively-themed movies. (Allard J)

I've written something and I would like to have my first film directed by the time I'm 30. (Allard J)
My first film goes into production in October. It's called White Boy Shuffle and it's based on a novel about a young black kid and it's sort of reminiscent of Catcher in the Rye. (Allard J)
Tarantino's movies, I really enjoy, certainly, and when I was 19 and 20, I was really into them. (Allard J)
The film is set in 1979, which isn't that long ago, but it's a complete period piece. Things have changed so drastically socially since then. (Allard J)
There was a time - before I made movies - when I was more forgiving, but now that I've learned as much as I have, I want to do movies that I want to see, that have their own unique flavor. (Allard J)
You know, social issue movies don't make a lot of money. (Allard J)
I was told I had to gain a lot of weight because Hobbits are very portly. Peter [Jackson] is forever suggesting I have more food. 'A little more food for Mr. Astin. (Allard J)
“The Lord of the Rings” (Allard J)
“I'm proud of Lord of the Rings. I think it's a once in a lifetime role, and a once in a lifetime film. It was made with so much care and passion and meticulous detail and everybody was so behind it.” (Allard J)
“Everyone was very deeply involved in the world of "The Lord of the Rings". From the wardrobe department to lighting, all were fascinated with the story. This is something that does not happen usually.” (Allard J)
“Lord of the Rings was just so much enjoyment. It was over about the space of a year that I was filming. It's one of the most enjoyable things I've ever done, so emotional.” (Allard J)
“Lord of the Rings was something I always wanted to do. I read the book when I was about 25, and I was always hoping if it was ever made into a feature film that I would be involved in some way. And then I finally got it, and I was over the moon. It was fantastic news.” (Allard J)
“I'm usually catching up on things I should have been doing while I was filming - a pile of mail and bills. I like reading. I like watching a lot of sports on TV - football, boxing. I like cricket a lot. I try to get down to Lords to watch Yorkshire if they're playing down there.” (Allard J)
“Our trailers (on the set) are kind of adjoined.” (Allard J)
