Ansel Elgort

I like romanticizing romance. ”

My mom is very romantic. As is my dad. They appreciate real romance. ”

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? ”

I don't want to just fall back on the fact that I was on the cover of 'GQ' for being an actor. ”

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

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.' ”

I'm not that big of a reader, to be honest. ”

Any real person has a front and a real part to themselves. ”

Someone once told me we have in our minds who we want, and often those aren't the people we actually want. Like, once there was a girl I thought was perfect for me - I had every box checked with her. But I just didn't feel anything. ”

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. ”
