More quotes by Alden Ehrenreich
I'm kind of grateful that I didn't have any real success until I was older and basically out of high school. I think that was a real confidence boost for me, having it all start that way, in that very privileged position of having him vouch for me.
Alden Ehrenreich
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.
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 remember Tetro was a big deal to me at that time. It was going from zero to one: Never having been in a movie, a person who had no relationship to any of that, and that was my first movie.
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 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.

I auditioned for four or five years and didn't get anything after that.
Alden Ehrenreich
Just getting to talk to that person [Woody Allen ] in real life was pretty wild.
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
I really feel lucky that I still feel excited about the actual work that I get to do. I just happen to love it, and I could easily see, for somebody else, that not being the case.
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
[ Woody Allen] persona in the films are so iconic it's like on par with Groucho Marx or something like that.
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
[Warren Beatty] definitely sees 'Rules' as a comedic consequence to the American sexual puritanism that is dramatically presented in 'Splendor.'
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
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
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
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
I really want to be a part of those movies that say something good to a lot of people.
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.
