Miles Teller at an event for Top Gun: Maverick (2022)

Quotes

Miles Teller

Edit
  • I grew up in a very small town in Florida, like, 7,000 people.
  • I got into acting my junior year of high school. We got a new hot drama teacher and I was like 'Alright, I'll try drama.'
  • Honestly, I'm not a big movie buff in general. The only movies I own is probably the 'Indiana Jones' trilogy.
  • 'Footloose' is a fun movie. If you do it right, people should leave wanting to dance.
  • Absolutely, 'Rabbit Hole' gave me a nice first introduction into film acting.
  • I've played drums in bands since I was 16.
  • I've always felt like I can dance.
  • I'm the first one out on the dance floor. In college I had to take jazz, ballet and tap dancing, but, before that, it was just social.
  • I'm still waiting for my first big Hollywood paycheck... maybe I'll play a superhero.
  • I used to have a big crush on Andie MacDowell.
  • First play I ever did was 'Footloose.' I played the part of Willard when I was 16. I think I wore my drama teacher's jeans and her belt - that's how small I was. I know a lot of Willard's back story from the musical that's not explored in the film. Like he's got this whole relationship with his mama, and he sings this song 'Mama Says.'
  • When I was in middle school, I always did well in school, but teachers either loved me or absolutely hated me.
  • The makers of '21 and Over' have been screening it, and I'm getting a lot of comparisons to a young Vince Vaughn.
  • My second grade teacher told me I would never graduate high school. That I was going to be a juvenile delinquent.
  • Living in somebody else's pain for an actor man, it's actually nice when you get to feel that kind of emotion. That's what I like.
  • I just got an iPhone, which is cool, but I don't download movies, I don't watch Hulu, I don't have Netflix. I don't do any of that. But I do geek out to music.
  • I don't know if there's an actors' slow-pitch softball league I could join. My agency has a team, but they say it would be a conflict of interest for the people they rep to play because I could hit a pop-up and they'd have to drop it on purpose.
  • I always had ambition. I always knew I was going to go to college. I could party and do that stuff, but I always got straight A's and a 4.0 and all that.
  • Going to high school in rural Florida, we always partied down in the woods. Somebody - one of the rednecks - would leave class and mow a path out to a field, and we'd drive out there. Dude, every party I went to was lit by a bonfire. Acoustic guitar.
  • For me, I still have feelings for all of my ex-girlfriends. In different parts of my life, I would miss that person. There's something that drew me to that person, and I shared something with them.
  • When I was in high school, there was Superbad (2007) and The Girl Next Door (2004) and Wedding Crashers (2005) and all these great movies. You hope to be a part of something that's smart, funny and in that Todd Phillips-vein. You want to make something like 'Superbad.' That movie was so good and so funny.
  • So I think that in the beginning of your career you're just looking to work. Luckily for me, my first movie was 'Rabbit Hole' and I got to work with incredible people, a Pulitzer prize winning writer, John Cameron Mitchell, and all the actors involved. So it's tough, man, because you want to have credibility.
  • I don't know if I'm just lazy or I like trying to do things with my feet.
