More quotes by Ethan Hawke
The idea that a film is created in the editing room - it's only a certain kind of movie that's made in the editing room and it's not one that I really want to see.

Your development as a person should coincide with your development in all aspects of your life.

There is no trick to writing a believable love story, a heartbreaking scene or real-sounding dialogue. All you need is to tell the truth. It’s always heartbreaking.
Ethan Hawke
Right now the only people I can really fall in love with are people who don't really, truly want me around. Now why do I do that?
Ethan Hawke
Seeing the play ( A Lie of the Mind ) clearly is part of why I wanted to direct it. I see hope at the end of this play. People talk about how dark the play was, but I feel like, if you really look at the darkness, you're able to go through it, and you realize that you can handle dark moments in life and that everything will be all right.

I remember staying up all night waiting to see the first screening of Cape Fear because you knew that every time Robert DeNiro had a performance it was going to be revelatory. Then DeNiro hit this place, he seemed like he was done with the emotional cost of impaling himself like that, and he dedicated himself to comedy.
Ethan Hawke
Give your heart to everybody you meet. The rest is pretense.
Ethan Hawke
It was never in my dreams to make my personal life anybody else's business.
Ethan Hawke
The most creative and most periods of my life that were, had the most growth, were the ones where I was perceived to be failing. Perceived success is a, is really hard 'cause it doesn't really, it's not asking you to grow, see failure is asking you to grow.
Ethan Hawke
I did this movie right after it about the life of Chet Baker. It's called Born to Be Blue. In that situation, there's a real clear character you're drawing on. It's a real person. It's really exciting and interesting to do the research to figure out how to make that a nuanced, three-dimensional human being.
Ethan Hawke
I started acting when I was 13 years old and I feel like I really admire actors who are these kind of amazing shape-changing people, that they almost can turn themselves into other people.
Ethan Hawke
One of the hardest things about my job is that there kind of is no one rulebook that applies to all situations.
Ethan Hawke
To get to be somebody who gets to love what they do for a living, that's so rare, and so there must be some kind of price you have to pay.
Ethan Hawke
And the joy of my job - and it's really true - is that it's constantly evolving and changing.
Ethan Hawke
Oh, I like going down the rabbit hole. You know, that's kind of my job. When you play Macbeth, you gotta dive down that one. The trick is figuring out how to do it with love and a sense of humor so you can pop back out again. But, kind of the actor's job is to go down the rabbit hole.
Ethan Hawke
In your mid-twenties, the paint is still wet on who you are.
