"One of the things that's great about Training Day is that you have two very distinct personalities, but it's true: it also has a great plot. If you can do both, it`s incredibly exciting for the audience. Oftentimes, you have art films that have no narrative to speak of and instead offer characterization; then you have mainstream movies that are simple formulas, A-B-C-D. Training Day (2001) is a good combo".

"People look at your life and see things as a big deal that aren`t a big deal to you. What I mean is, the chapter breaks are different for me. I`ll read about my divorce, and what people think about it, and, well, it`s so inaccurate, usually, but the fact is, I wouldn`t want it to be accurate. Because it`s my truth. When I was younger, it was more important to me to come off well. Now, I just want to try to be good at what I do."
Ethan Hawke

"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."

"The person who`s had the most impact on acting since Marlon Brando, the only person who`s really changed acting, is Julia Roberts. I call it the Julia Roberts School of Acting. It`s an excess of competence. She`s got all these imitators, and they just basically get on screen and smile. The idea is, smile and say your line. And Julia Roberts herself - well, that`s one thing. But she has a ton of pupils who get on screen and basically just smile. And their smile is so winning, and so wonderful, that you say, `I like that person`. And it drives me crazy, because the point of performance is not to be liked. My grandfather`s a politician, and he can never understand. He says, `You`ve got to stop playing these people no one would ever like!` But my job is not to be liked. It`s to make interesting things. I want to actually do something, rather than just be me on screen. Julia Roberts does something with it, but all her imitators. It`s like the imitators of Raymond Carver, that generation of writers copying him, I guess: it looks simple to them and they copy it, but they`re missing the thing that made it special."
