But even a kid, directing was something that I did. I made short films in school. I feel like I've been in the best film school in the world.

More quotes by Alden Ehrenreich
[Howard Hughes ] approached filmmaking like he approached all of his inventiveness - it gave him an opportunity to make a name for himself in the world.
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
That's a lot more legitimate than the retail therapy I do.
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
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'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
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
When I worked with anybody like Woody Allen, there's the name, and your understanding of who they are before you meet them, that stays in your head a little bit.
Alden Ehrenreich
I've definitely been spoilt. Every movie I've done, it's always the same criteria: finding a great story, and finding a great part to play.
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 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
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'm just excited to be a part of the movie [Star Wars]. It's always the particulars that are the most exciting.
Alden Ehrenreich
Like I've known Francis [For Coppola] for so long I think, Oh, Francis. And then you see his name on something with The Godfather, and you go, Oh, yeah. He's also that. The person you knew of before you met the actual person.
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
My parents weren't involved in show business but my parents would show me. We'd watch old films in the house.
Alden Ehrenreich
I honesty feel that each film has its own particular challenges.
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.
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.
