Quotes by Ansel Elgort

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 cant wear these; theyre too high. I was like, Mom, you have to try them - theyre so cool. Theyre red snakeskin! She still wears them every so often, but she cant walk in them.

I think that most people who are just artists, who are getting famous, would trade a lot of their fame back for some normalcy, pretty much immediately.

You cant be a good actor if you get too affected by fame. Because then youre not real, and youre not really wanting more. You look at a lot of actors who, before they were famous, did a lot of amazing work, and once they got too big, it just got off.

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.

My thing with fans is, its always about being really good to them and taking the time to take every picture. If there are 300 people, you should take 300 pictures - you shouldnt take 250 because then fifty people will go home sad. Why would you do that?

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 dont want to be there anymore.

There are big parts of my life that I dont share. I dont share myself eating dinner with my family. I dont talk about who Im dating. Thats private thats me.

I hated the ballet, but I liked performing. I did 20 shows, and I couldnt get the smile off my face.

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.

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