Image
I'm not passive aggressive. If something bothers me, I think about it, then I act on it. I express it.
Anton Yelchin
Image
Communism destroyed so many generations. I look at my grandparents and their generation, and it's as if their lives were taken from them. It's really sad and frightening that something like that could have happened. But I don't really think of myself as Russian anymore. I didn't even live there for that long.
Anton Yelchin
Image
The ability to have a choice in what you do is a privilege.
Anton Yelchin
Image
Russia itself is an extremely complex country, and sometimes I feel like all of that comes back to haunt me. I can see why so many Russian writers were so tortured.

Image
Most of the girls I know are from my school. I've gone to school with the same people since fourth grade, so I can't wait to go to a place where I don't know anybody.

Image
I don't really like watching my work. I don't mind watching it when I was a little kid because I forgive myself a lot, since I was a little kid.

Image
I tried ice-skating and wasn't very good at it.

Image
The music that really moves me is music that's written by people where there isn't a lot of money and they're really singing with just their voice and a guitar about their feelings and about their life. Their poetry is relatively simple, in the sense that it's about their soul in jeopardy.

Image
I want things to be characters and not me. Why would I want to play me?
Anton Yelchin
Image
It would be nice to live off the land and fix cars.
Anton Yelchin
Image
I'm sure there are directors who don't like to work with actors and don't know how to be sensitive to actors.
Anton Yelchin
Image
Maybe silence is something we're uncomfortable with as a culture, I don't know.
Anton Yelchin
Image
Every relationship I've been in becomes long-distance because of work. It's never worked out. It puts an intense strain on the relationship, and at a certain point, it becomes too difficult.
Anton Yelchin
Image
I've always been drawn to a certain kind of dark aesthetic in cinema and in film, to what's abjected or considered abject. I've been tremendously influenced by noirish cinema whether that's Von Sternberg or Scorsese in the 70s or Lynch, etc.

One of my favorite vampire movies is 'Nosferatu,' which has a palpable sense of dread that's a pre-war dread.

Image
I've been lucky to play characters that are really broad.
Anton Yelchin
Image
I don't feel any connection to Russia.

Image
I love academics, theory and all that. I love and admire that and try to do as much reading as I can.

Image
Taking photographs seems to be a means to express some kind of emotional, abstractive narrative. I look at the images that I'm most proud of like a film about the world the way I see it (or at least saw it at that moment, a perspective that seems to be ever-shifting and filled with self-doubt.)

Teenagers are like atoms when they're moving at hundreds of miles an hour and bouncing off each other. Everybody's got such a crazy hormonal drive and reacting to each other differently and getting upset over little things. High school puts all these potential explosions in one place.
