More quotes by 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
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
In your mid-twenties, the paint is still wet on who you are.
Ethan Hawke
I don't know what has happened to movies, but lately every movie is at least 20 minutes too long. It used to be that if you were three hours long it was because it was epic - a movie about Gandhi something with very important subject matters.
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
Sometimes people save the best part of themselves for their art.

Ethan Hawke
I'm always trying to look for how I can find human stories that aren't just dramas.
Ethan Hawke
I have a daughter and the thing I wish for her is not love, fame, money or anything like that. It's just one great best friend. You know, if you have somebody that has your back, you're gonna be all right.

I thought I was so much smarter than everybody. And I'm not.
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
It was never in my dreams to make my personal life anybody else's business.
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
Whenever a really passionate, talented filmmaker seems to have an interest in me, I take it very seriously because I like to work.
Ethan Hawke
Often you see a famous actor who says they produced something, when all they did was claim to have an idea at a dinner party and make three phone calls.
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
We're fascinated by things that scare us, and one of the things that scares us is violence. Violence exists. It's a real part of our lives. We are obsessed with what we're scared of, but it certainly doesn't define us.
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
The kindest compliments I have ever heard are when cops tell me Training Day and Assault on Precinct 13 inspired them to become cops. The funniest compliments I have ever heard are when people tell me that 'I love your band Sugar Ray.
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.
