Woody Allen is kind of the one example I don't have. Because the way he works and the amount of shooting time that I did on that film, I didn't really get to know him, so he kind of stays as Woody Allen to me.

More quotes by Alden Ehrenreich
I feel about romance the same way I do about a vocation it's a calling.
Alden Ehrenreich
I'm just excited to be a part of the movie [Star Wars]. It's always the particulars that are the most exciting.
Alden Ehrenreich
Whenever you hear somebody else is auditioning for something, you sort of assume they're going to get it. You should try to just ignore it. I don't find it very helpful to know who else is going up for stuff, generally.
Alden Ehrenreich
I remember pretending to be the characters in the movies when I was a little kid.
Alden Ehrenreich
I feel like I would have ultimately ended up pursuing acting. It probably would have been much more difficult and taken a lot longer for me to get into it professionally.
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
For me, the drive is storytelling. To be a part of an art that tells a story and to be a catalyst, a color in that, is very exciting.
Alden Ehrenreich
I grew up watching a lot of old movies, so getting to ask about making movies in the '70s and people he was friends with, like Orson Welles, Lillian Hellman and Charlie Chaplin, and hearing a first-person account was pretty incredible.
Alden Ehrenreich
[Warren Beatty] is voraciously detail-oriented.
Alden Ehrenreich
Same with the Coen brothers and Warren [Beatty]. And then slowly you get to know each one of them as a person, and that becomes a kind of separate entity, where you just know the human being.
Alden Ehrenreich
I remember Tetro was a big deal to me at that time. It was going from zero to one: Never having been in a movie, a person who had no relationship to any of that, and that was my first movie.
Alden Ehrenreich
I had one line. My two larger scenes had gone fine, and then on that day I screwed up that line over and over and over again. And every time I screwed it up, they can't use the whole thing because they're only using the one shot [in Blue Jasmin]. That was my last day.
Alden Ehrenreich
I'm trying to make myself sound better.
Alden Ehrenreich
That's something that Francis [Ford Coppola] would always say. I remember when I was doing Tetro, he said, Stay innocent. I'm 69 years old, and I'm still innocent.
Alden Ehrenreich
[ Woody Allen] persona in the films are so iconic it's like on par with Groucho Marx or something like that.
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 remember calling and asking, because I had a few lines that were like, How could the character have done this? and I hadn't read the part of the script that said what she [ Cate Blanchett] did, so they put me on the phone with Woody... Allen. I don't know if I could really say Woody.
Alden Ehrenreich
That's a lot more legitimate than the retail therapy I do.
Alden Ehrenreich
With 'Hail, Caesar!' it was about all the skill sets I had to learn, but each movie requires a different way of working. You're a piece in a new world, and there is always a difficult part within that world. For me, it's not consistent from movie-to-movie, each film has a central challenge.
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.
