Ansel Elgort would "like to find a lot more love" before his 30th birthday.

In an interview with The Times published on Sunday, the 25-year-old actor shared with the U.K. paper what he "hopes to achieve" before he celebrates the milestone.

“I’d like to have done a few plays and performed my music,” the "Goldfinch" star said. “I’d also like to find a lot more love."

"It doesn’t need to be sexual," he continued. "I could be done sexually with my girlfriend. I think we’ve been pretty clear that I want to feel free to fall in love with people and that [option] should be open, but sexually it can be closed off.”

When asked to elaborate, Elgort, who is currently dating his high school sweetheart, Violetta Komyshan, explained: “I’m in love with a bunch of my male friends who I’m not interested in having sex with, so why can’t I put the desire to have sex with women aside and let myself have love with women?

He concluded: "We’re primitive beings.”
