[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.

More quotes by Alden Ehrenreich
That was cool, because they've all [ George Clooney and Josh Brolin and Scarlett Johansson] worked with the Coens. They were much more at ease with them at the outset, and they were all kind of familiar with the shorthand that the Coens had.
Alden Ehrenreich
I'm glad to be an actor to be employed by people who are now 12, probably. I look forward to that.
Alden Ehrenreich
I'd never worked with an actor-director before [Warren Beatty].
Alden Ehrenreich
Warren [Beatty] did a very cool thing, where he directs in character.
Alden Ehrenreich
[Warren's Beatty] first film being with this very important director [Elia Kazan], I think we related on that in a big way. And I just was genuinely curious about his experiences in film, and about the people he knew.
Alden Ehrenreich
I honesty feel that each film has its own particular challenges.
Alden Ehrenreich
Warren [Beatty] loves to talk about his experiences with [Elia] Kazan.
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
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
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
For me, it was watching 'Reds' and 'Splendor in the Grass.' To me, 'Splendor' is like the companion piece to 'Rules Don't Apply.' It's set in the time when Warren [Beatty] came to Hollywood, and when he did that first film.
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
By anyone's measure, [Warren Beatty] is proven himself. But he still sets out to make something as great as it possibly can be.
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
Each time demands its own kind of film.
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
You get bummed out, and then you go, Oh! Now I get to go buy a present for myself. That kind of helps.
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
[Warren Beatty] is voraciously detail-oriented.
Alden Ehrenreich
I had the opportunity to learn more about what life is like for a soldier [in The Yellow Birds].
