I would do movies and TV, and in the summer I would skateboard, in the winter I would snowboard, so I had a pretty full plate. (Allard J)
It seems to me that there's nothing tougher looking that a bunch of X-Men in black leather outfits. (Allard J)
It was a completely different shooting schedule than X2. That was six months doing a two-hour movie. (Allard J)
It's nice to do something a little lighter, 'cause in X-Men we were super-tense the whole time. (Allard J)
Lord of the Rings is a good thing for us because it opened the door for the genre in general. Le Guin's stories are very different from Lord of the Rings. (Allard J)
Our first scene is sort of a reunion between the X-Men characters, which establishes everyone's relationship to one another, sort of like a recap for all those who have forgotten since the last movie. (Allard J)
Right now I'm looking for the next thing, I'm taking my time finding something that really fits for me, I want to try something different from X-Men. (Allard J)
The real excitement and big deal for me started when I got cast in the first X-Men, which was sort of a fluke. (Allard J)
Working on the film TERRY, I have to wear really short shorts. I have to say, they are my biggest fashion pet peeve. (Allard J)
Yes, but no, because there was already a huge fan base from the comics and I think the X-Men's theme of tolerance is what drives these stories and that's a timeless message. (Allard J)
And at the end of the day, if the movie's no good, I'll live to fight another day. (Allard J)
Good, bad mediocre or whatever it is, if a director wants me in his movie, I take it as a compliment. (Allard J)
But I'd shot enough independent films as an actor, one as a director. I knew that you have to be very specific when you're shooting a period picture. (Allard J)
Even The Impostors, as silly as it is, is a very intimate film, in a way. (Allard J)
I never go overbudget on my movies. (Allard J)
I've directed a film set in the '50s. (Allard J)
It's more interesting because you get to research the history of the period, and all the different aesthetic elements that make a film, particularly this film, so stunning. (Allard J)
My partner, Beth Alexander, and I want to produce smaller films, but commercially viable films that will enable me to make the kinds of movies I want to make. (Allard J)
Often you'll see in movies the Italian gangster is always dumber or meaner or bloodier than the others. (Allard J)
So yes, I hope to act in other people's movies, big and small, because that's how I make my living, really. (Allard J)
Sometimes it's difficult directing yourself on film because you can't quite separate yourself from the subject. (Allard J)
