I cry whenever I watch an emotional scene that I did, just because it brings me back to that moment. It's like, I remember being there; I remember feeling what I felt. It's really weird, right?

Sometimes I'll write a tweet that I'll just be like, 'Why do I have to say this to all of these people?' It's like writing a Facebook status: it's the same. I view tweeting as like writing a Facebook status. Remember when we used to write statuses?
Ansel Elgort -
In fifth grade, I did 'Oklahoma!,' but I didn't get a leading role. I knew the whole play and could sing it already, but they were like, 'The sixth-grader has to get the lead.' I was really discouraged.

Picture-taking is an ensemble art - like theater.
Ansel Elgort -
I'm not that big of a reader, to be honest.
Ansel Elgort -
You can't be a good actor if you get too affected by fame. Because then you're not real, and you're not really wanting more. You look at a lot of actors who, before they were famous, did a lot of amazing work, and once they got too big, it just got off.

My dad's a photographer. So I suppose he named me Ansel just in case I would take over the family business. I guess I failed him.

I like to go on really nice dates. I've made some money, but I don't spend it on anything besides my rent. But I go to nice dinners. And I like to go with a girl.

I'd like to be Gandalf for a day - he's so wise, he's so powerful, and he's so caring. I love Gandalf. When they remake 'Lord of The Rings,' maybe I'll play it.

My dad said to always do what I loved and not worry about the money or anything, because if I do what I love, then the money will come.

I think my parents raised me well. And I'm pretty straight edge. All my friends make fun of me for being straight edge.

I hated the ballet, but I liked performing. I did 20 shows, and I couldn't get the smile off my face.
Ansel Elgort -
My style is clubby and groovy - you can jump to it, but you don't just have to just jump to it. It's not just really bass-heavy and hurts your ears; you move with it, and it sounds kind of tribal.
Ansel Elgort -
Any real person has a front and a real part to themselves.

I think it would be ridiculous to work with Tom Hardy. I hear some crazy things about him, and he's also really good.
