More quotes by Alden Ehrenreich
I honesty feel that each film has its own particular challenges.
Alden Ehrenreich
I feel about romance the same way I do about a vocation it's a calling.
Alden Ehrenreich
Whenever you hear somebody else is auditioning for something, you sort of assume they're going to get it. You should try to just ignore it. I don't find it very helpful to know who else is going up for stuff, generally.
Alden Ehrenreich
I talked to Woody Allen for half an hour or something. It was pretty incredible. He really went into lots of detail about the story [in Blue Jasmin] and what actually happened. Just talking to him is very surreal.
Alden Ehrenreich
Basically, Beautiful Creatures was the first lead that I had since Tetro, and it was a lesson in seeing what it's like to film a movie that's of a much bigger scale. It was a good initiation.
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
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.
Alden Ehrenreich
Just getting to talk to that person [Woody Allen ] in real life was pretty wild.
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
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
I didn't read the script [ Rules Don't Apply ] for a couple years. It basically amounted to this kind of apprenticeship with Warren [Beatty]: conversations and learning about his whole background in the film industry and his life.
Alden Ehrenreich
Even though I grew up in L.A., no one in my family was in the movie industry.
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
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
It's a little bit about how I felt about Hail, Caesar! and now Star Wars. I could not have predicted those things happening to me. But I'm just happy they come along.
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
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
Warren [Beatty] loves to talk about his experiences with [Elia] Kazan.
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
Each time demands its own kind of film.
