Ethan Hawke

I've had a lot of experience in independent film, and about how to choose. You've got to be very discerning about where you put your five bucks, and where you cut and what you don't cut.

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.

Everyone has to pay their child support, and no matter if you're a Hollywood actor or anyone else, it's always a little bit more than you want to pay.

Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in a lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
