Zitat des Tages von Ansel Elgort:
'The Fault in Our Stars' is a beautiful film that's really positive. The second half gets sad, but it's always positive.
My dad photographed a lot of beautiful dancers. My mom was a dancer.
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.
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 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.
Girls love it when you have some weird nerdy thing in your room. It makes you look less threatening, even though I'm, like, very threatening. I'm the most threatening guy ever.
I don't believe in spending money lavishly, now that I'm making money.
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?
It's important to be a divergent musician and do a little bit of everything, except you have to make sure your fans are aware of it and that you string them along the right way.
I hated the ballet, but I liked performing. I did 20 shows, and I couldn't get the smile off my face.
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 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.
I want to play everything. I want to be like Christian Bale: I want to be able to be Batman and then, like, his character in 'The Fighter.' That is what is so impressive about really good actors, that they can be character actors and leading men at the same time.
I just make whatever music I want. It's my obsession, and it's very fulfilling.
The image of myself that I give on social media isn't actually who I am; it's not 100 percent me, obviously.
I have a lot of weird interests, but everything I do is artistic.
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 had a birthday party with my family and friends at a house, and Chipotle catered. It was beautiful.
'East of Eden' is an important story for me. It's about a kid that's misunderstood and feels like he's not loved by his father. It's a very father-son kind of story, and it's not until the end that they sort of make up. I like that because every boy has trouble with his father, so it's very relatable.
I never felt fanboyish about acting, about actors, about movies. I'm a fanboy with music.
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.
I always wanted to be part of a movie that creates a different world.
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.
Nicholas Sparks and John Green are very different writers.
Human beings are a wonderful virus in some ways.
I love to cry. It's great.
I'm just such a good kisser.
Growing up on, say, the Upper East Side, you're so isolated. If you go to the Hamptons every weekend, you never talk to a construction worker, and the construction worker would never talk to you.
I like to buy girls shoes and jewelry. I buy stupidly expensive shoes. I got Louboutins for my mom and my girlfriend before. My mom was like, 'I can't wear these; they're too high.' I was like, 'Mom, you have to try them - they're so cool. They're red snakeskin!' She still wears them every so often, but she can't walk in them.
I can tap dance a little bit.
What's interesting to me is the fact that creatively, I can do anything now and people will pay attention, and if I suck, hopefully they will stop paying attention very quickly, but if I'm good, then I have my foot in the door, and people have paid attention, and I did a good job, and people are like, 'Oh, wow!'
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.
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.
I'm a total goof. When I'm being really comfortable with my friends, I can be very goofy.
I like romantic dates - going on a long walk in Central Park and then taking the subway downtown and going out to eat and ordering oysters. After that, you walk around again and talk.
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.
