“Yes, I’m angry with my father for the way he treated my mother. I’m angry with my father for sleeping with Annie. I’m angry with my father for naming me Sven. But I’ve been in therapy twice a week since I was six. I’m tired of adults asking me if I’m angry.”

Alden Ehrenreich always seems to be in an A2 jacket.

I’ve been in movies where so much of the conversation was about, ‘Well, after this movie, you’re gonna be the biggest movie star.’ I sort of have learned that you never really can predict any of that. I don’t really know what it’s like when you have a big breakout thing happen. People will know who I am at the party tonight and at the premiere but I could drive right now to the building next door and no one knows who I am. That’s kind of nice.
