Quote by -Ansel Elgort
A lot of high school students on TV and in Broadway are played by people in their late 20s and even early 30s. That seems weird to me.

Quote by -Ansel Elgort
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.'
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Ansel Elgort

Just in terms of the opportunity I've gotten is amazing. I consider myself super, super, super lucky.
Quote by -Ansel Elgort
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.
Quote by -Ansel Elgort

Quote by -Ansel Elgort
I want to encourage people. One of the things I do encourage people is that - that Internet is a place where we should share our ideas and be positive, not negative.
Quote by -Ansel Elgort
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.
Quote by -Ansel Elgort

Quote by -Ansel Elgort
Technology moves so fast and social media moves so fast because everyone wants the new thing, but also, everyone wants to be where their parents are not. Once the mom got a Facebook and a Twitter and an Instagram, I don't want to be there anymore.

Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Ansel Elgort
You know what I'm realizing? I always love a place if I like the movie I'm doing there. I've heard people say, 'I hate Pittsburgh,' and I'm like, 'I love Pittsburgh so much!' I loved what I was doing there, and I loved Austin for the same reason.
Quote by -Ansel Elgort
I think if you only work, then you won't have a life. It's tough to have a life when you're working a lot.
Quote by -Ansel Elgort
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.
Quote by -Ansel Elgort

Quote by -Ansel Elgort
