More quotes by Ethan Hawke
If you don't risk doing something foolish, you'll never do anything special.
Ethan Hawke
When I see Lionel Messi play soccer, he lets the game come to him. He lets the game unveil itself to him, then like a lion he eats the whole thing.
Ethan Hawke
When I woke up I was naked. I have this one oddball idiosyncrasy: Sometimes in my sleep I take off all my clothes.
Ethan Hawke
I'm always trying to look for how I can find human stories that aren't just dramas.
Ethan Hawke
Happiness is in the doing not in getting what you want.
Ethan Hawke
The older I get, the more obvious it is that you're not really in control of your life, you're a part of a larger wave, no matter who you are.
Ethan Hawke
In fact, I think my life is always going to be difficult, because I am trying to do something... original is a big word. It's kind of pathetic, but I have to love what I'm doing.

The thing that really breeds career longevity in this profession is doing good work. You can make $20 million a movie, but does that mean you'll still have a job when you're 60? It's a profession that eats people up and wants constant turnaround, so you have to dedicate yourself to learning and making the most of whatever gift you may have.

Ethan Hawke
I think that as soon as you think of yourself as a famous person or anything like that, you're objectifying yourself in some weird way.
Ethan Hawke
Sometimes in the life of an actor you're not getting offered any jobs that speak to you. The trouble with acting is that you're only as good as your opportunities.
Ethan Hawke
I've had different opportunities in my life, but I've tried to maintain the spirit of an amateur. Our culture roots everything in the barometer of success and how much money you make. But if you really just aspire to a life in the arts, it's really not a barometer at all.
Ethan Hawke
The Woodstock Film festival is among the finest of a dying breed: a festival that isn’t trying to sell you anything, but simply and beautifully celebrating the art & craft of filmmaking.
Ethan Hawke
I'm horrified to admit that I just love Salinger. I was devastated to find out that other people feel the same way.
Ethan Hawke
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
One of the things that's really lousy about making movies is that you have such little interaction with your audience.
Ethan Hawke
Few years ago I did a movie, Good Kill, about drone pilots and for four or five months I'm obsessed with the Air Force.
Ethan Hawke
Your development as a person should coincide with your development in all aspects of your life.
Ethan Hawke
My favorite stories are human, so I'm always looking for...
Ethan Hawke
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.
