More quotes by 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
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
I've had several moments in my career where it seemed like I might not age out of the bracket the world wants to put you in. It's hard to keep growing up inside the performing arts. It's very difficult, and presents a lot of unique challenges.
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
It's always a unique challenge when you're working with somebody where English is their second language.
Ethan Hawke
And the joy of my job - and it's really true - is that it's constantly evolving and changing.
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
I thought I was so much smarter than everybody. And I'm not.
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
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
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
In your mid-twenties, the paint is still wet on who you are.
Ethan Hawke
Some people burn out, and some people like Clint Eastwood, he was a wild, international movie star in his 30s, and he's doing the best work of his life now. Go figure.
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
My favorite stories are human, so I'm always looking for...
Ethan Hawke
The truth is that the more you get paid, the less freedom you have. They never pay you for nothing.
Ethan Hawke
Your development as a person should coincide with your development in all aspects of your life.
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
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
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.
