More quotes by Alden Ehrenreich
I auditioned for four or five years and didn't get anything after that.
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
I really want to be a part of those movies that say something good to a lot of people.
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.

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.

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
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
I did my first film with Francis Ford Copploa which spoiled the hell out of me.
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
When I was 14 years old, I was by no means trying to work professionally at all.
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
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
Each time demands its own kind of film.
Alden Ehrenreich
It feels like you're being invited into a kind of community [working with the Coen brothers].
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
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
Even though I grew up in L.A., no one in my family was in the movie industry.
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
I had the opportunity to learn more about what life is like for a soldier [in The Yellow Birds].

By anyone's measure, [Warren Beatty] is proven himself. But he still sets out to make something as great as it possibly can be.
