More quotes by Alden Ehrenreich
It feels like you're being invited into a kind of community [working with the Coen brothers].
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'm just excited to be a part of the movie [Star Wars]. It's always the particulars that are the most exciting.
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.
Alden Ehrenreich
For me, each one of those experiences stands on its own. The first one was with Steven Spielberg, who helped me to get an agent and vouch for me, and that gave me the confidence to continue.
Alden Ehrenreich
I think that having had [Steven Spielberg's] confidence in me probably made me a little more immune to feeling as bad about myself in the face of rejection. I also was just so young - I was unaware enough to not take it too seriously.
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
Warren [Beatty] did a very cool thing, where he directs in character.
Alden Ehrenreich
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.
Alden Ehrenreich
[Woody Allen] does very few takes, and he doesn't give a whole ton of directions, although he does give direction.
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
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
Each time demands its own kind of film.
Alden Ehrenreich
When I was 14 years old, I was by no means trying to work professionally at all.
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've had a couple opportunities where I've been on the other side of the audition process as a director.
Alden Ehrenreich
Warren [Beatty] loves to talk about his experiences with [Elia] Kazan.
Alden Ehrenreich
The idea of it [Star Wars] is really exciting, but the most fun part is the actual job you get to do: the character that you get to play, the people that you work with, the day-to-day experience.
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
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.
