John Hawkes Quotes

I don’t have any training as an actor, but I guess I’m an intense pretender. When you read something over and over, it gets into you a little bit. You can’t help but begin to feel it, even if you’re a healthy person as I think I am Picture Quote #1

‘The New York Times’ thing... I think any actor would be thrilled to be profiled in that paper Picture Quote #1

It’s nice to sometimes get things out of life, rather than stealing from other artists. I’m trying to steal from the real people Picture Quote #1

I’ve never had any delusions about being a leading man, and it’s not sour grapes to say that in the best films that I’ve always enjoyed, the cliched leading man type isn’t a part of the picture Picture Quote #1
