My dad would throw me in the picture if they needed an extra. From an early age, I understood the concept that, if you're not the star, then your job is to not pull attention away from the star.

More quotes by Ansel Elgort
Success is being artistically fulfilled and happy. You can't control how people see your movie or how much money it makes...and the same thing with music. When I'm writing a song or I'm in the studio, those memories, that's epic.
Ansel Elgort
We need to also act out, and anything that [Donald] Trump does, anything he's trying to do that we don't agree with or anything this country is doing in general that we don't agree with, we need to protest, we need to make our voices heard. And that has to go beyond Twitter - for me as well.
Ansel Elgort
I hated the ballet, but I liked performing. I did 20 shows, and I couldn't get the smile off my face.
Ansel Elgort
I have a lot of weird interests, but everything I do is artistic.
Ansel Elgort
I'm starting to get a following on Twitter. That's a really awesome power to have. It gives me the opportunity to make any kind of art I want.
Ansel Elgort
I don't just act, and that's really important to me. I don't want to just be an actor forever. I want to score movies. I could be an actor first, but I don't only want to be an actor.
Ansel Elgort
I got starstruck not by someone who is famous, but by someone who's famous in the miniature painting community. When I was a kid, I used to paint miniatures. There were famous people in the miniature community from forums online. I went to some big event and I saw them in real life and I was so starstruck.

I write music because I love it. Sometimes more than anything in the world.
Ansel Elgort
I feel, for the first time, ashamed to be an American because we elected [Donald Trump].
Ansel Elgort
If you don't know my name and you don't know what movie I'm from, don't come ask for a picture while I'm trying to eat chipotle
Ansel Elgort
I'd like to do something for inner-city schools and education for young people because it's constantly being cut.
Ansel Elgort
When I was nine, I started doing ballet. That's when I knew that I was down to keep doing it.
Ansel Elgort
Anyone would be able to be played by someone like him [Donald Trump], that's what he did, he played people.
Ansel Elgort
I'm a big fan of Shake Shack.
Ansel Elgort
As America, we aren't the country that we should be with Donald Trump as president.
Ansel Elgort
Most actors nowadays are models turned actors. That's why a lot of young actors are terrible. You have to learn how to act. It is not something that you can just do.
Ansel Elgort
As much as politicians, any politicians, Democrat or Republican, are saying they're trying to help the schools, it's hard because our country is in debt. I would like to do something for the inner-city schools because that's our future, and education is very important in helping our country continue to progress and not regress.
Ansel Elgort
I think it's important I stay connected to every part of my personality. I play basketball. I rock climb. I paint. I'm a little bit scattered, but it's so I can convincingly play all these characters.
Ansel Elgort
I've lived in a bubble my whole life. I never thought someone with those kind of views, who came across to me so ignorant every time he speaks, could ever be elected.
