There's a lot of complicated magical reasons why I'm not at the party that are too long and semantic to go into.
Alden Ehrenreich
The biggest challenge to being an actor is when you're not working, just being unemployed, the downtime and not having anything to do.
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

Alden Ehrenreich
Elia Kazan - the films he made were such a big deal for me when I was growing up.

Alden Ehrenreich
Acting-wise, I've had all these experiences. Yet when I look at certain people whose careers I admire, they've gotten to play so many different characters. So it's just that - getting to have more of these singular little adventures where you get to be a part of a completely different world.
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
Some movies, I think, present ideas of the world that just don't help people with their lives. They just present things that are fleeting or stupid. So that's what I'm careful about - making sure I'm part of something that is saying something that I think is valuable in the world of people, not necessarily in the world of art.
Alden Ehrenreich
[The Yellow Birds] is based on a novel written by Kevin Powers, who is an Iraq War vet. I play a soldier who promises my friend's mother I'm going to keep him alive. But when we go overseas to Iraq, he gets killed. It's about what happened to him, my reckoning and dealing with that as I return home from the war.
Alden Ehrenreich
I really want to be a part of those movies that say something good to a lot of people.
Alden Ehrenreich
When you work for the Coens, they are so fun and so organized. They treat everyone with such respect. And the character I got to play was so fun.
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
When Tetro came out, I met with Warren Beatty for the first time. I had, like, a four-and-a-half-hour lunch with him, and then over the next five years continued to meet with him and go to his house.
Alden Ehrenreich
I honesty feel that each film has its own particular challenges.
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
Their way of working [the Coen brothers] is always kept pretty mysterious. I was so curious to see how they make these movies. It was just such a joy - they seem to have so much fun making their movies.
