My playing music is strictly for fun. When I was in a band, I was really excited to talk about it since I had never really played music to that extent. It was never meant as something I would consider as anything more than having fun with my friends. But I think I would enjoy writing music for the movies that I’m working on. – Anton Yelchin

Russia itself is an extremely complex country, and sometimes I feel like all of that comes back to haunt me. I can see why so many Russian writers were so tortured. – Anton Yelchin

One of my favorite vampire movies is ‘Nosferatu,’ which has a palpable sense of dread that’s a pre-war dread. – Anton Yelchin

I’m fascinated by how ethnic communities have assimilated into massive capitalist environments. – Anton Yelchin
Teenagers are like atoms when they’re moving at hundreds of miles an hour and bouncing off each other. Everybody’s got such a crazy hormonal drive and reacting to each other differently and getting upset over little things. High school puts all these potential explosions in one place. – Anton Yelchin
Every relationship I’ve been in becomes long-distance because of work. It’s never worked out. It puts an intense strain on the relationship, and at a certain point, it becomes too difficult. – Anton Yelchin
In a relationship when things are really great you don’t need to say anything and just enjoy the other person. Sometimes with a couple, it gets dark and you don’t know what to say and that silence can last all day. Other times you don’t want to stop talking because you don’t want to lose one another. – Anton Yelchin
I think you can always find interesting, complex and fascinating characters to play in different kinds of movies. It’s in your hands. – Anton Yelchin
