I'm now in the extraordinary position where my grandchildren can watch me in Superman. I've scored enormous points with my 3-year-old grandson because his grandma is friends with Superman. (Allard J)
The first Superman film took up a huge chunk of our lives, but it was a wonderful time for us. We were young, my daughter was little, we were filming in London for a year, so we became like a close family. (Allard J)
The thing about all good horror movies is that the fans expect a couple of inside jokes. Maybe I'm supposed to be saying how terrified I was while making it, but it was really fun. (Allard J)
We didn't have movies in this little mining town. When I was 12 my mom took me to New York and I saw Bye Bye Birdie, with people singing and dancing, and that was it. (Allard J)
David kept nagging me, saying that he fully believed in the project. I read it twice more, then finally sat down with Michael to discuss the film. (Allard J)
In the 90's action pictures were all the rage. As a woman, I was fed up with them and I initially thought that the script was just another action film dressed up as a period piece. (Allard J)
The Kiss scene was attempted three times. The first was in a peculiar spot of the fort on the ground level. It felt forced to me, and I knew right away that, in spite of what others were saying, it was dead wrong. (Allard J)
“I loved the beginning where we get to fight like cats and dogs. We had so much fun doing that! Well, I don't know if he enjoyed it as much as I did. I love having that antagonistic relationship in the beginning, and being equally as strong as each other and bullheaded. It kind of reminded me of a Spencer Tracy/Katharine Hepburn-type movie.” (Allard J)
“Just Like Heaven,” (Allard J)
“It's fun to do a comedy and hook people in and then hoodwink them into watching a serious movie, ... I like to lead in with the comedy and then hit them over the head with a drama.” (Allard J)
“This film is really important to me. It's about where I grew up, it's about the music I grew up listening to, so it's very meaningful.” (Allard J)
“This film is very important because it's about where I grew up, and the music I grew up listening to.” (Allard J)
“Oh, my God, y'all. Sometimes, I can't just shake the feeling that I'm just a little girl from Tennessee. I want to say my biggest inspiration for this movie obviously was June Carter. She was an incredible woman.” (Allard J)
Being horrible in a big film is a quicker nosedive than doing an obscure film and making no money. (Allard J)
When you've made a film you have the luxury of having a little money, so you can afford to pace yourself, but we work in a very ephemeral business, especially in the film world. It's a bit like the stock market in that you're never sure what's going to be up or down, what will work. (Allard J)
“I like to do all kinds of films.” (Allard J)
“Each time you do a film you gain a lot of experience and build a visual resume where people get to know who you are.” (Allard J)
Doing a piece on film is completely different from doing it onstage. (Allard J)
“The first movie that I saw was Godzilla and I loved it.” (Allard J)
“It makes me forget that I'm not going to be a major star and lead female in films whether it was 20 years ago, 10 years ago, five or in the future.” (Allard J)
“I love working with a lot of different films and a lot of different people.” (Allard J)
