My relationship to reality ha...

My relationship to reality has been so utterly skewed for so long that I don't even notice it any more. It's just my reality.

I thought I was so much smart...

I thought I was so much smarter than everybody. And I'm not.

Ethan Hawke 181 quotes

I met a lot of famous people ...

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 181 quotes

When you do 'Before Sunset,' ...

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.

In your mid-twenties, the paint is still wet on who you are.

In all of our society, but especially in Hollywood, there is an obsession with perfection that can lead to self-loathing and neurosis and all that kind of stuff.

Ethan Hawke 181 quotes

When you start becoming reall...

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.

The thing that makes a great ...

The thing that makes a great genre movie is one that's not just entertainment, not just horror or sci-fi or whatever. The ones I love are the genre pictures with some subversive message underlying it all.

I think that as soon as you t...

I think that as soon as you think of yourself as a famous person or anything like that, you're objectifying yourself in some weird way.

Ethan Hawke 181 quotes

'Brooklyn's Finest,' this is ...

'Brooklyn's Finest,' this is the kind of movie that's why I want to be an actor, to tell real-life stories. This is where I feel my job is, to interpret life.

The theater, for me, has always been a place where I'm free to be more creative, a place to sharpen my tools.

One of the things that separa...

One of the things that separates a good genre movie from a bad genre movie, I always think, ironically, is when you care about the people. The dime a dozen ones are where you don't have any awareness of the character.

I was being taken around by a press agent at the Venice Film Festival at age 18. Was it fun? Sure. But it was a dangerous path to be walking on as far as having a substantive life. Because the casualty rate at the Venice Film Festival for 18-year-olds? High.

Ethan Hawke 181 quotes

I don't know what has happene...

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 181 quotes

I'd be lying if I said I had confidence in every choice I've made, that I have faith in every film I do on every shot.

Ethan Hawke 181 quotes

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 181 quotes

If you're not a real chameleo...

If you're not a real chameleon of an actor and if you're not one of those guys who can really shape-change themselves all the time, one of the ways to keep pushing yourself and keep changing is to be in different kinds of movies.

Ethan Hawke 181 quotes

I auditioned for Robert Redford once and I was so starstruck I couldn't even speak. I had a mic wire at a screen test clipped to me and then I got kind of nervous and I paced in a circle and then took a step and tripped and fell on my face. You just have to forgive yourself and keep going on.

You know, I auditioned for 'Titanic.' Sometimes I muse on what would have happened. That would have been such a different life.

Ethan Hawke 181 quotes

It's difficult to do a genre ...

It's difficult to do a genre film well, and it doesn't matter if you're talking vampire movies or 'Dawn of the Dead' or 'The Thing' or 'Escape From New York.' Those kind of movies, they understand what the old-school B-movie is supposed to be, they get the throwback of it.
