Like I said about Freaked, people tend to find these films, and I think that in the end the cool thing about a movie is that it can be sort of burnt temporarily, but then it's burnt into the fabric of your culture. (Allard J)
They're innocent movies, and they're fun movies and there were no pretensions about 'em. (Allard J)
With Fever, the film was so made for the screen, and there's so much surround sound that was done for the film - enormous detail paid to that. I wasn't thinking video, because I didn't know how it was going to turn out. (Allard J)
Considering we always wanted to make something that was very anti-establishment, the fact is, the film's been seen by a lot of people. (Allard J)

I'm not saying it isn't frustrating that my films haven't gotten a bigger release, but I'm really happy with them and if you just keep cranking and eventually, if you have a certain sensibility, some of your movies will hit and some just won't.” (Allard J)
That's the funny thing about Fever, which has been a kind of thorn in our side, although I don't think The Sixth Sense had even come out yet when we shot the movie. My film is so not a whodunit, and it so doesn't have a big surprise ending. (Allard J)
The film, even when we were making it in that budget range, which was really a coup - we got it made because we pitched it to the studio head, Joe Roth. (Allard J)
The thing about movies these days is that the commerce end of it is so inflated and financiers are just expecting this enormous return on their investment. (Allard J)
I'm one of the few people who really like Eyes Wide Shut. (Allard J)
I think filmmakers want their movies to be seen. (Allard J)
I think movies are good for getting into dream states or exploring weird alternate states of thinking. (Allard J)
I'm kind of happy to say I make weird movies - that part of it I'm really proud of. (Allard J)
And it really doesn't matter if you want to make mainstream movies - I think; make the movies you want to make. (Allard J)
But it is funny, because I saw Unbreakable recently and it's a strange movie, I didn't mind it, and it's got some interesting things going on. (Allard J)
Hitchcock had to fight to the death to make his movies. (Allard J)
I love playing villains. (Allard J)
If anything, as a general rule, the cheaper the movie the more creative the experience, generally speaking. It's not to denigrate expensive movies. I don't want to seem biting the hands that feed me, but with big movies, especially with a lot of effects, the role of the actor is somewhat diminished. (Allard J)
I never really worked with Chris Farley, I hung out with him, but I had plans... I had big plans... movies... and I was in no hurry. (Allard J)
The new movie I'm working on right now is very autobiographical. It's about a television actor who drinks too much and gets blackballed from the industry, and then he decides to break back in by directing his own movie (Allard J)
I don't even remember what I did in that movie, because I did it so long ago, ... I think I'm a crazy bunny ... or a lizard. Maybe even a beaver. I don't know. With those animated movies, you do the voice and then three years later, you finally see your character and you're like, 'Oh yeah, I forgot I even did that.' (Allard J)
Becoming a producer enables you to empower yourself, to make the film that you want to make. I have desires to make movies - I have movies I'm developing, and things that I'm interested in. (Allard J)
I don't control the movies that are offered to me, but I make choices based on certain parameters. (Allard J)
So for directors, actors, producers, writers-whoever encompasses the creative elements of a film-you have a hit, everyone's happy, and you're the hottest thing in the world. But if the movie doesn't open, then those realities do come into play. (Allard J)
You have to love the guy that you play, even if you play the villain, you've got to love him. (Allard J)
Movies are very hard to make, to get it all to come together. So many people have their say in what the end product of films are (Allard J)
