I think you always feel like you're about a hair's breadth away from being a bad actor anyway... It's not too hard to let the rope go slack, so to speak.

More quotes by Alden Ehrenreich
Even though I grew up in L.A., no one in my family was in the movie industry.
Alden Ehrenreich
I've had a couple opportunities where I've been on the other side of the audition process as a director.
Alden Ehrenreich
I did my first film with Francis Ford Copploa which spoiled the hell out of me.
Alden Ehrenreich
I've had that experience many, many, times - when you don't get roles. I'd developed a good muscle for shaking it off.
Alden Ehrenreich
The movie [Blue Jasmin] shot very quick. I met Cate Blanchett in the car on the way to set, and we did that last scene, and she was just so phenomenal. I had basically met her that day. Because the way he shoots, everybody just shows up and does their thing, and he moves us very quickly.
Alden Ehrenreich
I had four years of auditions, and nothing happened, until Francis Ford Coppola took a shot on me ['Tetro' in 2009]. I hadn't done a film, and suddenly I was the lead.
Alden Ehrenreich
When I was a little kid, my parents would show me Marx Brothers films and westerns and stuff like that. Thats where all my desire to be an actor comes from and probably most of my understanding of acting comes from for sure.
Alden Ehrenreich
I buy myself a present whenever I don't get a role that I really wanted.
Alden Ehrenreich
The actors at that time had to learn all that stuff, it wasn't just hyperbole. What was appealing to me about being an actor at that time is that there was a home base, with job security. You were employed on a regular basis, and you had to sometimes do things you didn't want to do, but it was there. I also liked Hobie Doyle positivity.
Alden Ehrenreich
I didn't read the script [ Rules Don't Apply ] for a couple years. It basically amounted to this kind of apprenticeship with Warren [Beatty]: conversations and learning about his whole background in the film industry and his life.
Alden Ehrenreich
I feel about romance the same way I do about a vocation it's a calling.
Alden Ehrenreich
Elia Kazan - the films he made were such a big deal for me when I was growing up.
Alden Ehrenreich
I want to make movies that people see. I really think that movies are the most popular form of story telling ever and have such a huge impact on culture when they do.
Alden Ehrenreich
Even when Warren [Beatty] cast me, it had been two years between films at that point.
Alden Ehrenreich
[The Coen brothers] hire the same people over and over again, so there's a shorthand between all of the people they're working with.
Alden Ehrenreich
Let's say [Warren Beatty] wants you to speak louder in a scene. He won't stop playing the role and say to you as a director, Will you speak louder on the next take? He'll say it as Howard Hughes: I can't totally hear you. Why don't you speak up a little bit? To kind of keep this rhythm going.
Alden Ehrenreich
It feels like you're being invited into a kind of community [working with the Coen brothers].
Alden Ehrenreich
You do need these people to go out on a limb for you, thinking you're right for a role rather than having box office numbers.
Alden Ehrenreich
Warren [Beatty] was very adamant and very encouraging of me to direct. It's definitely something that I'd like to pursue more in the future.
Alden Ehrenreich
It was pretty fun [auditioning on the Millennium Falcon], because I enjoyed the material a lot. Last year I read for the directors, then came to England and did a test on the Falcon, then came back and did a couple more screen tests in Los Angeles.
