More quotes by 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
That's a lot more legitimate than the retail therapy I do.
Alden Ehrenreich
I buy myself a present whenever I don't get a role that I really wanted.
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 feel like I would have ultimately ended up pursuing acting. It probably would have been much more difficult and taken a lot longer for me to get into it professionally.
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
The last three movies I've done, I played a cowboy, then I played a soldier, and now I play Han Solo. So the little kid in me is having a real joyride.
Alden Ehrenreich
Warren [Beatty] was very adamant and very encouraging of me to direct. It's definitely something that I'd like to pursue more in the future.
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
I had an audition process that went on for a long time, and I got to spend a lot of time with the guys who are directing the film. Getting to be around them and being around the world a little bit has been the main experience so far. I did my audition on the Millennium Falcon for one of my screen tests, which was pretty cool.
Alden Ehrenreich
Just getting to talk to that person [Woody Allen ] in real life was pretty wild.
Alden Ehrenreich
[ Being director] is really reassuring to me that it's just about who is right for that role and less about if you ace the audition. It's just about getting to know people, not about who's a better actor a lot of the time. It's about who fits that particular suit, you know?
Alden Ehrenreich
Warren [Beatty] loves to talk about his experiences with [Elia] Kazan.
Alden Ehrenreich
[Warren Beatty] will sometimes spend hours on a very small detail to make sure he gets it right. After the kind of work that he's made, he certainly doesn't have to be doing that.
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
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
[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 film and each character is a completely new set of challenges. It doesn't feel like you can rest on something you may have done well in the past.
Alden Ehrenreich
Even though I grew up in L.A., no one in my family was in the movie industry.
Alden Ehrenreich
I actually remember getting asked when we were at the Cannes Film Festival, what I expected to do next. I remember feeling like there was no way I could've imagined that something like Tetro would have happened to me.
Alden Ehrenreich
