Timothee Chalamet

I'm sure no one really wants to think of themselves as a child actor.

Ninety-eight per cent of all human communication is non-verbal.

I do find that there's a fine balance between preparation and seeing what happens naturally.

On American sets, you work 12-, 14-, 16-hour days sometimes. All that volume over a short course of time can actually be less conducive to telling a story accurately.

I don't like to know exactly what I'm going to do in a scene, because the most interesting moments as an audience member are moments of truthful spontaneity.

There's the truth to every moment that you have to bring to every scene, but you have to understand the tonality of the film before you begin, which isn't something that's instinctual to me.

I went to LaGuardia, so I'm very close to the reality that lot of actors work rarely.

I've been getting to work with Steve Carell and just feel like the luckiest kid in the world.

We're only here for so long. Be happy, man. You could get hit by a truck tomorrow.

When I try to appreciate something, it feels like my hands are around the moment, trying to squeeze it. It's when you really release yourself of the responsibility to be enjoying things that you actually do.
