Hawke: "If I wanted to do the same thing every day, I would have gone into a different profession."

Hawke: "You want to put out good vibes for the viewers, even if so many stories that have to be told and that need to be told have a lot of darkness in them, because the world has a lot of darkness in it."

Hawke: "I haven't always known I wanted to act. I wanted to be a farmer, an English professor, or an archaeologist."

Hawke: "As an actor on a film, you have no control over the final product - your job is to make a director's vision come true. So, you need to have total faith in them and add your own creativity and opinions and energy, but you have to really give over responsibility, and sometimes that can feel terrifying."

Hawke: "I'm very open-minded."

Hawke: "I want to tell stories that are true and that resonate and move people, that highlight both the tremendous beauty and ugliness available in the human experience."

Hawke: "I'm not super aware of what's the coolest thing and what everybody's doing or listening to or watching at any given time."

Hawke: "I really love my family. The more independence that I get and the more freedom that I have, the more interested I am in being a dedicated and involved family member."

Hawke: "I've always been kind of a voyeur."

Hawke: "I think success is when the way you talk about who you want to be and what you want to do lines up with who you are and what you do. I guess, by that, I mean I think success is practicing what you preach."

Hawke: "Style icons always change, and they usually inspire my haircuts more than anything else."

Hawke: "Your whole childhood is just absent of choices. And then you become an adult, and every choice you make, you open some doors and close others."

Hawke: "The world of celebrity that comes with the world of art is not particularly interesting to me."

Hawke: "It can't be articulated enough, that feminism means the desire to have equality between men and women. I believe that, and I act on those beliefs by going to marches and making a difference where I can."

Hawke: "I do care a lot about what I wear, but in a way that is about comfort and practicality, and I always want to look like me."

Hawke: "I was diagnosed with dyslexia in third grade and had gone to a special school for it and then left the school. I'd learned to read and write, but it was still a real struggle for me, as it is to this day."

Hawke: "The thing about acting that's unlike any other art form is that it's collaborative; directing and acting are a collaboration, and your acting won't succeed if the lighting design doesn't succeed or sets don't succeed."

Hawke: "I have a wonderful, supportive relationship with my family. I get lots of advice from them about all kinds of things."

Hawke: "Though I do believe that when you live in political times it is inevitable that your art be political, I also think we need to start making activists celebrities rather than trying to make celebrities to be activists."

Hawke: "When I discovered that, through acting, you can speak a beautiful language aloud and have a relationship to language that isn't one that's just eyes-to-page, pen-to-page - it's one that's full-bodied, full-voiced, full-heart... it really opened my heart and made me feel like I could be a storyteller."

Hawke: "I really struggled, growing up, with reading and writing. I had a hard time to do that, but I was really passionate about storytelling and about books."

Hawke: "I'm not particularly interested in my phone. I'm interested in human contact. I think phones have created a certain social incapacity; it's made people socially deficient."

Hawke: "I was given a new coat as a high school graduation gift."

Hawke: "My family is really supportive. We fight, and we talk, and we lie, and we tell the truth - not usually in that order - and I really enjoy growing with them and fostering that dynamic."

Hawke: "I really loved getting to interact with an animal or a baby or a kid in a scene because they don't really know that you're acting. They don't know that this isn't reality."

Hawke: "My parents are actors, and I'm the oldest of my siblings - I have three younger sisters and a brother who's my best friend. We're a close-knit, complicated family, but we spend a lot of time together, even though we live in different houses. We're a rambunctious gang!"

Hawke: "I hate technology and cellphones. I hate having to have one all of the time. I don't tweet or buzz or bing or whatever! It's a conscious thing - I hate the way that it can take over young people's lives."

Hawke: "What I learned is you have to be forgiving with yourself. You have to be willing to take your time, and you can't expect things from yourself that you can't deliver."

Hawke: "I'm not interested in hiding from the fact that my parents are actors. I'm proud of them! It's very ordinary to pursue a career that your parents do, but when it's in the public eye, it becomes a complicated thing."

Hawke: "Men should be able to see themselves in female characters and female strength, just as much as women are able to see themselves in male characters."

Hawke: "In the first two projects I've worked on professionally, I've been doing ensemble work with other young women, which I think is pretty cool. And they both were directed by and written by women. It's been a wonderful experience of real ensemble support and women lifting each other up, and I feel really lucky for that."

Hawke: "There was a time that I would have carried a briefcase and worn a monocle were it to even border on socially acceptable."

Hawke: "The truth is, I have made very few public appearances, and when I have, my parents have been very careful to allow me to have my own experience."

Hawke: "When you're growing up with a learning disability, it shoots your confidence and belief in what you can accomplish academically; it really damages it."

Hawke: "I would recommend any young person who wants to be an actor to go and get some training."

Hawke: "In my living room, I was always playing guitar and writing songs and singing them. My dad and I would always sing together - only for friends and family, but always since I was a little girl."

Hawke: "I've become a little immune to the gazes of strangers because it's been a part of my life for so long."

Hawke: "Eventually, I realized that there was only so much that I could put in the way of my happiness, and acting made me happier than anything else."

Hawke: "It's really easy as an actor just starting out to get into the mindset that you only get one break. But my parents have shown me that's not true."

Hawke: "One thing I've learned from my parents and from observing all the artists I've been lucky enough to grow up around is that you've got to be brave."

Hawke: "I think valuing what your body can do over how your body looks is the No. 1 advice I would give to young women about how to have healthy body image. It's not, 'Do these pants fit?' It's 'Can I do a split?'"

Hawke: "Reminding myself that listening is just as important a creative act as thinking is key for me."

Hawke: "It's difficult to always have to be contextualized within the careers of your parents, and it's difficult not to feel like you can stand alone, but hopefully I'll earn the ability to stand alone over time."

Hawke: "I love my family. We have a very rich, complicated relationship."
