Ethan HawkeIn an interview with AMC’s Shootout scheduled for Sunday, Ethan Hawke states that celebrity marriages are not easy.

Hawke, who was nominated for an Oscar for his role in Training Day, was married to Uma Thurman, star of Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction, for six years before Thurman filed for divorce in 2004. They couple has two children.

Hawke said, “What happens it’s not that they’re jealous of each other; it’s that the person you share your life with isn’t in the mood to support… You want to have a pity party for yourself, but they’re off to the Golden Globes and you don’t want to go because everyone is going to think you are jealous.”

“It’s unfair when one person’s career is taking off and the other is really suffering.”

“There’s a certain geometry to life that life has a certain math equation to it and if you’re never together, you can’t build a home… Joanne Woodward put her career on the back burner for that marriage (to actor Paul Newman) to last. And something’s got to give.”

    Yes. A couple needs to be together for building a home. He got away from movies when birth his daughter and all of us thought he didn’t get job or he didn’t be sucessfuly. For me, Hawke’s a excellent actor and a great writer. Besides he’s careful loving father and a adorable man. I’m so sorry for him and for her of course.

    I agree with Hawke. A couple needs to be together for building a home and it’s impossible for celebrities. So… anyone have put carrer on the back burner. Or at least a litle bit. It happens all the time with normal person. Ethan seems to be a careful father and a family man and all of us know that he loved Uma so much. But unfortunatly they didn’t get to that.
