“I'm a detail freak. If I'm playing a Marine sergeant, like in Sergeant Ryan, I wanna know everything there is to know about being a Marine sergeant.” (Allard J)
“Even though it did well at the box office and I think my performance is fine, I thought ('The Relic') could have been a better movie.” (Allard J)
“For me, flying then brings you into the realm of Superman.” (Allard J)
“It was a real exciting episode for us to shoot because it's a turning point, and I think from this episode on, the show is going to be very different from what it's been in the past. I also think we're finally going to get to what I believe the audience wanted the show to be.” (Allard J)
“To me, from the beginning, this show has always been about Clark before Superman. And for me, flying then brings you into the realm of Superman. I find it much more interesting to concentrate on the development of this character and show you what happened in his life to make him become this Superman that we all know him to be.” (Allard J)
“This show did a really good job, leading up to this episode, to not hint toward it at all. And when the death occurs, it's a complete surprise to every single character.” (Allard J)
“In a movie, you're raw material, just a hue of some color and the director makes the painting.'” (Allard J)
“It's hard to be objective about it, ... But it's one of the movies I most like. It's the most complete. It really works. I know that it's probably the best movie-making experience and final result in terms of a creative, well thought out movie that's well written and well acted.” (Allard J)
“It's got the same structure [as the film], in some sense, ... but the twists and turns David came up with are quite different. It's a more subtle and more layered look at human behavior, not just a pulp fiction tale.” (Allard J)
“It's a simple narrative on the surface, ... The setting, certainly. And there are certain things that remind one of genre imagery that you've seen before, whether it's action movies or crime movies or Westerns. There are a lot of elements that look familiar. But it's kind of like the family itself. Everything that looks normal, in the end, isn't really. And like a lot of David's movies, at the end you say, 'Well, is anyone really normal?' ” (Allard J)
“The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.” (Allard J)
“What keeps the film from being by-the-numbers has a lot to do with David. A lot of directors would have made an exploitation movie.” (Allard J)
“[(Entertainment Weekly) -- Anyone who has seen the attention-grabbing trailer for] A History of Violence, ... Aragorn: No More Mister Nice Guy.” (Allard J)
“Lord of the Rings.” (Allard J)
“A History Of Violence” (Allard J)
“James Caan told me at the end of filming 'Elf' that he had been waiting through the whole film for me to be funny - and I never was.” (Allard J)
“I loved the structure of the whole movie—these two parallel stories which were illustrating the point of the fine line between comedy and tragedy. It was so imaginative and unique but at the same time very signature Woody Allen.” (Allard J)
“At the end of the movie I gave Bob Newhart a headshot of mine with tape over the eyes. So that he'd remember, and be fond of the tape,” (Allard J)
“I definitely wanted to leave "Saturday Night Live" at a time when I still enjoyed doing the show. I didn't have a supreme confidence that I would be immediately successful after leaving the show, but I just knew it was the right time to test myself and get out there and try other things.” (Allard J)
“The only thing I can attribute it to, in leaving the show, is making the right choices or having the opportunity with people to develop material that is closer to your sensibility,” (Allard J)
“Unless it's a down-and-dirty little film ... you have to strike that balance between having it rooted and having the people not fall out of it,” (Allard J)
