“People have said unkind things and you kind of have to, if you happen ...” — John Hawkes Quote

People have said unkind things and you kind of have to, if you happen to read it, you have to just, you know, move on.

My fear now is of cliche, of complacency, of not being able to feel authenticity in myself and those around me.

If you're telling a story it's always best not to play the ending.

If a musician wants to be an actor, everyone thinks that's pretty cool. But if an actor wants to play a song, even if they've been doing it for 40 years, that's bad news.

I do all kinds of roles - nerd, psycho, nerd, psycho, nerd, psycho - and occasionally someone kind of normal. It's weird, when I lived in Austin I was always cast as pretty normal people. But when I moved to Los Angeles I was immediately branded a psycho.

I grew up in a bracket sport, in wrestling. You win, that does the talking, you move on.

I live in the moment. I can turn the page and move on.

Things happen. You just have to accept it and move on. I get that from my dad. He's a real chilled character.

If you do something and it goes wrong, you learn from it and you move on.

When you're away for a long time, tastes change, fans move on. You hate to think about it, but it's an ugly fact of life.
