More quotes by 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
If you don't risk doing something foolish, you'll never do anything special.
Ethan Hawke
It just makes sense to remember gratitude and the place that gratitude should have in your life, and that none of us are owed these wonderful experiences, and we should always make the best of them.
Ethan Hawke
One of the things I can do is to try to put myself in different kinds of movies and that kind of subtly changes my work. By the time my obituary is written, I want there to be a great western and a great comedy.
Ethan Hawke
The writing process was some of the most exciting and rewarding moments of my life. It felt a lot like being in a band.
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
One of the things that's really lousy about making movies is that you have such little interaction with your audience.
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 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.
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
When you make a movie with Alejandro Amenábar, he very quickly... it was very clear you're kind of operating in his dream universe.
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
When you do 'Before Sunset,' you know while it's a limited audience, there was a very small group of people that love 'Before Sunrise.' You feel a certain pressure to make sure that you uphold a level of quality that has been a bar. You set a bar and you have to at least match it.
Ethan Hawke
If you don't give inspiration an opportunity, it will never arrive.
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.
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
Give your heart to everybody you meet. The rest is pretense.
Ethan Hawke
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
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.
Ethan Hawke
Directing is like putting together a collage.
