Says that he is constantly mistaken for Mark McGrath from the band Sugar Ray so often that he signs autographs as "Mark McGrath" and, apparently, the same thing happens to Mark McGrath who, in turn, signs autographs as "Ethan Hawke" to fans.

Became a father for the first time at age 27 when his wife Uma Thurman gave birth to their daughter Maya Ray Hawke, aka Maya Hawke, on July 8, 1998.

His cat appeared in Lisa Loeb's music video "Stay (I Missed You)", which he directed.

Became a father for the second time at age 31 when his wife Uma Thurman gave birth to their son Levon Green Hawke, aka Levon Hawke, on January 15, 2002.

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 कयामत का दिन (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.

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.

The devil is seductive, and so guns are glorious in the culture. I understand there's a case to be made. For instance, Spike Lee said something like this, that you can't have a scene with drugs in a film that doesn't secretly make you want to do drugs. In the same vein, it's hard to make a movie that's anti-violence because the very nature of photographing violence eroticises it. But I'm not so sold that that's true.
