More quotes by Ethan Hawke
I'm a huge Luc Besson fan. The Fifth Element, I just loved that movie. Luc cast me to play a small part in it, and so I did, because I love all his movies actually - The Big Blue, La Femme Nikita, Léon: The Professional. His movies are so wonderful. It's just fun to be in it and for it to be a sci-fi movie.

I'm magically delicious.
Ethan Hawke
People are conditioned to just you know, like, you know we're like little birdies going to the bird feeder you know, or the little cows going to the salt lick. We just like what we've seen before.
Ethan Hawke
Success isn't measured by what you achieve, it's measured by the obstacles you overcome.
Ethan Hawke
At every turn, when humanity is asked the question, 'Do you want temporary economic gain or long-term environmental loss, which one do you prefer,' we invariably choose the money.
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
I did this movie, Predestination, and it's one of my favorite movies I've ever made, because sci-fi really lets you talk about ideas in a way that's not pretentious.
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
The only thing I can point to of why I survived is I have a family that loves me and never wanted any money from me.
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
Most of us float with the river and there are a few people who move the river. Robert DeNiro is definitely one of them.
Ethan Hawke
The biggest problem in my life is trying to be the kind of man that I want to be, the father that I want to be, and how to process the failure of my marriage.
Ethan Hawke
The constant buzz and pressure and noise and static of the Internet, and the way it makes young people feel makes it difficult to grow up and develop the way one might want to.
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.
Ethan Hawke
Happiness is in the doing not in getting what you want.
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
The drones are really interesting - how have the troops withdrawn from Afghanistan? Because we've upped the drone strikes and most of the country doesn't even really know what that means or who we're killing or... it's such a new weapon that we don't know what the long term impacts of that kind of military action is going to be.
Ethan Hawke
'Brooklyn's Finest,' this is the kind of movie that's why I want to be an actor, to tell real-life stories. This is where I feel my job is, to interpret life.
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.
