Chalamet: "I naturally have a me-against-the-world mentality, and I've been fighting it since I was 13. It's felt like it's only gotten me in lonely, angry places."

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

Chalamet: "I want to attack and to lead my life with vigor, but I'm in the watching stage at the moment. Younger actors feel pressure to bring a pop to every scene; as the roles get bigger, I'm finding you can add layers and do less scene-to-scene."

Chalamet: "I've always felt like there was less creative space on sets with guardians. I just felt independent at a young age."

Chalamet: "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."

Chalamet: “I feel like I’m here to show that to wear your heart on your sleeve is O.K."

Chalamet: “After a day of protests, I'd ask friends if they ‘felt good.’ If we do, is it a good thing to feel good, or does that mean we're doing it for the wrong reasons? How much do I want to put on social media? Is it a virtue signal to put it on social media? But all social media is performative, right?”

Chalamet: "I have this sense of independent heartbreak, of annulling romances before they get their feet off the ground."

Chalamet: "These are such First World problems, but there's a certain claustrophobia to New York. You don't escape in the East Village, but it at least feels full of camaraderie and youth - or full of camaraderie and youth in an East Village that is as full of Chase banks and Starbucks as the Upper West Side, or anywhere else in Manhattan."

Chalamet: ”I always feel tremendous ambiguity in the self-identity department which is maybe not great for mental health.”

Chalamet: “I care so much about this stuff. But I would never want my caring to be misconstrued. I don't want my caring to be about me in any way.”

Chalamet: "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."

Chalamet: "I don't think enough people admit that there's just something fun about being in front of people. And that's not a self-centered, egotistical thing."

Chalamet: "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."

Chalamet: "I miss the sense of belonging on a film as much as I did on 'Call Me By Your Name.'"

Chalamet: "Sometimes, when you act with someone in an intimate capacity, you have to ask vulnerable questions to speed up intimacy - but that's artificial."

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

Chalamet: "I have experienced heartbreak but not in a classical sense."
