Ethan Hawke's quotes
- I think most people are good at more things than the world gives them the opportunity to do.
- The kindest compliments I have ever heard are when cops tell me Training Day (2001) and Assault on Precinct 13 (2005) inspired them to become cops. The funniest compliments I have ever heard are when people tell me that "I love your band Sugar Ray".
- But the truth is, I've never wanted to be a movie star - and I've been pretty clear about that.
- [on being a father] It's the greatest pleasure in my life. It's the only role that, if I fail, I will consider my life a failure.
- A lot of American actors when they do Shakespeare put on a phoney English accent and it drives me crazy. You're always fighting against the idea that only the British know how to do Shakespeare.
- Acting was something that came very easily to me. It fell in my lap. But the people I admired the most were not really movie stars. I was full of Jack London and Jack Kerouac.
- [on working with Jude Law] I think Jude's the real thing. He is just electric, man. He is so beautiful. It's weird to be around someone that beautiful. I just couldn't believe he was straight.
- [on Dead Poets Society (1989)] The experience on that movie was, for lack of a better term, life-altering. Peter Weir has a unique talent for making movies that are intelligent but also mainstream. I've never been terribly successful at doing that.
- [on the Before trilogy] The first film is about what could be, the second is about what should have been. Before Midnight (2013) is about what it is.
- [on Before Midnight (2013)] We needed to try to address the harder, more difficult aspects of daily life and what it means when you get what you want, and what you do with what you want when you have it, and do you still want it?
- Looking for mentorship and leadership is a big part of every young man's life. We want to not be at sea, and we want to not be lost.
- [on whether he is ever tempted to abandon performing ] I think there's a healthy part of anyone who's a professional actor that has a little Greta Garbo in them.
