Alden Ehrenreich

It's always been very important for me to be surrounded by people. It's never been enough for me to be successful alone. I want to be around people my own age who are also doing things I can learn from.

Alden Ehrenreich

I feel like some of the best roles that I've gotten to play I could've never preconceived. These things happen to you in an unexpected fashion, so it's hard to pre-imagine what that would be because some of the best opportunities I've had I could've never anticipated or expected.

Alden Ehrenreich

Something that is appealing to me about old Hollywood is job security.

Alden Ehrenreich

My favorite one... it's hard to pick a favorite. But the one I really love a lot is 'A Serious Man.' I just love, love 'A Serious Man.'

Alden Ehrenreich

I think everyone in high school at one point feels like they're on the outside observing what's going on. Even if you're very popular, you have an outsider experience.

Alden Ehrenreich

It's not hard for me to access a bad actor. That's always there. It's actually kind of a load off your mind because, the worse you do, the better it goes.

My parents were big film buffs.

Alden Ehrenreich

I remember when I was 13 and telling people I wanted to be an actor, and being met with, 'Have fun waiting tables,' so I figured maybe that's not such a great idea after all.

Alden Ehrenreich

My parents weren't involved in show business, but my parents would show me. We'd watch old films in the house. Little film festivals of Westerns and stuff like that when I was a kid. I knew I wanted to be those guys in those movies before I knew what being an actor was.

Alden Ehrenreich

I remember pretending to be the characters in the movies when I was a little kid.

Alden Ehrenreich

An era that I specifically like is sort of late '50s, early '60s. I guess mid '50s, too. I like these types of films that deal with post-WWII America and this more complex leading man that kind of emerges from that.

Alden Ehrenreich

Every movie I've done, it's always the same criteria: finding a great story, and finding a great part to play.

Alden Ehrenreich

Paul Newman made eight of my favorite movies. He chose a certain kind of movie I really identified with.

Alden Ehrenreich

I really don't know what it's like in 'Twilight,' but I know in the young-adult genre, there are these cold, aloof guys. If you start thinking that's the ideal guy when you're 13, by the time you're 25, you're going to have had some seriously bad relationships.

Alden Ehrenreich

When you work for the Coens, they are so fun and so organized. They treat everyone with such respect.
