I think that when you first read material or you first read a script or story and know you might be playing a part, it's important not to see yourself because it should be a challenge enough that it doesn't come easy.
Ansel Elgort -
You can be really weird, and people will still accept you if you're in movies. I'm not actually weird, but if I feel like being weird, then I can do it, and they accept it because you're an actor.

Even on Facebook, like, I wouldn't share everything with my friends, because that's obnoxious.
Ansel Elgort -
There's going to come a time when maybe I have kids and a wife.
Ansel Elgort -
James Dean was always a tortured soul.
Ansel Elgort -
I like romanticizing romance.
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.

I grew up with Grace Coddington coming over to our house, like, all the time, but, like, she was just, like, the woman with the red hair.

I'm looking forward to, as an actor, having to do some stuff that's out of my comfort zone. It makes for interesting work and when you're uncomfortable doing something; then it's going to be interesting when they film it.

I just think a lot of people don't give credit to EDM producers or DJs. People think they're just button pushers and just get on stage and don't really perform.
Ansel Elgort -
I'm a total goof. When I'm being really comfortable with my friends, I can be very goofy.
Ansel Elgort -
When you're crafting a character, it's good to have a lot of influences.

The club scene is terrible.

My fans are going to be there for me.

I don't want money to ever drive my career. I want my career to be driven by what I want to do in art.
Ansel Elgort -
I always wanted to be part of a movie that creates a different world.

I love when a girl is like, 'I can't hang out. I have to go to class.' And I go pick her up, and she's all sweaty in a leotard with her hair in a bun. That's the hottest thing ever.
Ansel Elgort -
You are your main news platform, so no publication has as much power as you do about posting about yourself.
Ansel Elgort -
Just because you live 20 years or 100 years doesn't make it less meaningful. They're both short amount of times. So all we can do is just live in that time, whatever time we're given.

My dad was always taking photos of us at home, and even on set - he'd bring us along and stick us in the photos in the background. It was almost the beginning of acting for me, like, 'Hey, you go over there and play basketball in the background, and don't even think about the camera.'

My thing with fans is, it's always about being really good to them and taking the time to take every picture. If there are 300 people, you should take 300 pictures - you shouldn't take 250 because then fifty people will go home sad. Why would you do that?
Ansel Elgort -
When I chose to do 'Carrie,' I never had done anything on camera before. I was always onstage, so everything surprised me. Just going on set and walking into a makeup trailer and seeing Chloe Moretz and Julianne Moore - 'Wow, I am part of this ensemble.'

When I was in lower school, I graduated from fourth grade, and the principal gave us a summer assignment to take a 30-minute reflection period every day. And, of course, there were no cell phones at the time. She said to just think. And that's lost. It doesn't exist anymore. Just imagine being on a couch and just thinking.
Ansel Elgort -
The first movie I ever cried at was when I was 10 years old and saw 'The Notebook' in theaters. I was like, 'Whoa, so weird. Crying at a movie? I'm not supposed to do that. So weird.' I didn't know that art could make you do that.
