Success isn't measured by what you achieve, it's measured by the obstacles you overcome.
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
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
It is quite rare to find people who are really dedicated to a level of excellence. Most of us are really quite lazy most of the time.

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.

Its difficult to do a genre film well, and it doesnt matter if youre talking vampire movies or Dawn of the Dead or The Thing or Escape From New York. Those kind of movies, they understand what the old-school B-movie is supposed to be, they get the throwback of it.
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
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

If you don't risk doing something foolish, you'll never do anything special.

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 can't tell you how many times in the '90s I'd meet somebody, we'd be having a nice time, and they'd sigh and go, 'This is exactly like Before Sunrise.' And I'd have to get up and leave.
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
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.

The writing process was some of the most exciting and rewarding moments of my life. It felt a lot like being in a band.

It's interesting to work with Emma [Watson] so quickly after Harry Potter. When we shot this movie, it wasn't that long after Harry Potter was finished, and it's knowing that's a big transition in her life. She's a very talented young woman.
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
Whenever a really passionate, talented filmmaker seems to have an interest in me, I take it very seriously because I like to work.

I'm magically delicious.

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.
