I want to be in a really good movie. What's the story, and how can I make that story in a different way? I always go from a story standpoint. (Allard J)
I was making a lot of independent movies before the independent movement. (Allard J)
I wasn't doing the John Hughes movies or the Bruckheimer movies. But that's because movies changed. (Allard J)
I would never do something like Speed 2 again. If I'd wanted to make those kind of movies I could have signed up for five of them while it was in the can. It wasn't worth it to me. That was just an innocuous, boring movie. (Allard J)
I've had regrets in the downtime and struggles in between, but I've made two movies in the past five years. I'm happy with them. (Allard J)
I've never made a movie for money. My movies have always done well critically in places like San Francisco and in urban centers, but they did not travel across seas. (Allard J)

Mostly I do films that mainstream Hollywood wouldn't touch. (Allard J)

Now, being on the cover of Vanity Fair is as important as being in great movies. The lines are very, very blurred. (Allard J)
These days you have these kids who are hyped in one movie, which doesn't even necessarily do anything. Just the rules and boundaries are just absurd. (Allard J)
Training Day was such a Hollywood movie; I didn't like it. (Allard J)
You can take a handful of dollars, a good story, and people with passion and make a movie that will stand up against any $70 million movie. (Allard J)
I like being alone and I think this movie, as much as it is an investigation of connection and people bonding, I also think it's just as much about loneliness. (Allard J)
I thought it would be good for me to do something bigger, more bombastic, more physical. I had a blast making the film. (Allard J)
“It's not scary to make a horror film because you get to pull back the curtain and see that none of it's real. When you're watching one, the terror bombards you.” (Allard J)
