More From John Hawkes

I decided that i want to live the rest of my life happy with what i'm doing. so when i play tennis again, i have to play it for the right reason. i don't want to play to get my no. 1 ranking back. i don't want to play for the attention, or to earn more. i don't even want to play because the world wants to see me do it, even though it's nice to know that the world is interested. i only want to play because i love the game, which is the reason i began to play at age seven in the first place.

We have associations to things. we have, you know, we have associations to tables and to - and to dogs and to cats and to harvard professors, and that's the way the mind works. it's an association machine.

This love of ours, in so far as it is a love for one particular creature, is not perhaps a very real thing, since, though associations of pleasant or painful musings can attach it for a time to a woman to the extent of making us believe that it has been inspired by her in a logically necessary way, if on the other hand we detach ourselves deliberately or unconsciously from those associations, this love, as though it were in fact spontaneous and sprang from ourselves alone, will revive in order to bestow itself on another woman.

I see that things are getting made a lot faster for less money and there are a lot less opportunity, i think, for actors. there's not a lot of work in the u.k. i mean, that's why everyone's moving to america because that's where the work seems to be. but it definitely feels like a lot more of a slog to get a gig these days. i suppose that's a lot to do with our current climate and financial messes. i certainly see that people seem to have to work harder with a lot less time.

Compared with men, it is probable that brutes neither attend to abstract characters, nor have associations by similarity. their thoughts probably pass from one concrete object to its habitual concrete successor far more uniformly than is the case with us. in other words, their associations of ideas are almost exclusively by contiguity. so far, however, as any brute might think by abstract characters instead of by association of con cretes, he would have to be admitted to be a reasoner in the true human sense. how far this may take place is quite uncertain.

I've got to stop getting obsessed with human beings and fall in love with a chair. chairs have everything human beings have to offer, and less, which is obviously what i need. less emotional feedback, less warmth, less approval, less patience and less response. the less the merrier. chairs it is. i must furnish my heart with feelings for furniture.

I don't like hiding. i do like to keep certain things to myself, but at the end of the day, i'm eighteen, and i'm going to fall in love.

The main symptom of falling in love is that you lose your intellectual prowess.

I didn’t fall in love with it just because it was me playing. i fell in love with it because i’ve got guys like this – like these guys every single day that push me to be the best that i can be.
