More quotes by 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
I think it's my job to risk looking foolish. One of the things I've learned from the actors I've worked with is you don't get something for nothing. If you don't risk looking foolish, you'll never do anything special.
Ethan Hawke
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
The truth is that the more you get paid, the less freedom you have. They never pay you for nothing.
Ethan Hawke
I met a lot of famous people when I was about 24. And none of them seemed very appealing. And so I didn't know why I would struggle to be that kind of person.
Ethan Hawke
I've always been interested in directing. I started acting when I was thirteen years old, so I've had some desire to do something else in my life.

When you make a movie with Alejandro AmenĂ¡bar, he very quickly... it was very clear you're kind of operating in his dream universe.
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.
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
One of the things that's really lousy about making movies is that you have such little interaction with your audience.
Ethan Hawke
If you don't risk doing something foolish, you'll never do anything special.
Ethan Hawke
When you start becoming really successful, the demons start to tempt you - the demons of vanity and self importance, drug abuse, the feelings of fraudulence. But, it's also a thrill. That's what I found weird.
Ethan Hawke
I'm magically delicious.
Ethan Hawke
My goal is to tell good stories. And to try as best I can to do something new with acting. To learn from the past and to be a relevant artist. To make stories that are interesting and contemporary and to tell some kind of emotional truth.
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.
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.
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
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
We all have this fantasy of finding our one true love who's going to be the perfect fit. It's just not a reality.
Ethan Hawke
There's something about knowing life is finite that makes it so precious.
