"I never made a first impression ever again." There's something incredibly profound and poignant about that.
And obvious
Never thought about that,
Very true
Anonymity is a warm blanket.
That can't be exactly true. There must be people out there that wouldn't recognize him.
This reminds me of when Dave Chapelle came to Toronto 15 years ago and my friend and I wanted a photo with him. He looked at us and said "What's up I'm Dave, how are you guys doing?" This began a 30-40 minute conversation about life and all kinds of stuff. At the end I didn't even want a photo cause it felt weird so we just shook hands and said see ya Dave. It made me realize he was just a funny guy who did comedy for a living and happen to be famous.
That's cool
Good for you for living in the moment.
My son had a similar experience with Chappelle. Really open and generous with his time when he can be 👍🏾
Sure pal...
Picture or it didnt happen
That line - "nobody wants you to be real, they just want a photo" hit me so hard. Everyone talks about how fake celebrities can be but deep down that's what most people seem to actually want. They don't want a real human person, they just want a larger than life artifice. Something they can take a selfie with and post on instagram to boost their own self esteem. As bleak as that must be for the celebrity, it says something even bleaker about the influence of celebrity on society as a whole.
That's what I love about these videos. Unlike talk show interviews, the actors aren't trying to play to the camera, or trying to sell anything. They are talking about real experiences and thoughts, and more importantly trying to be themselves instead of a portrayal of themselves.
Yeah, there's something really special about this show. It's definitely becoming one of my favorite things to watch on TH-cam.
This show reminds me of the Dick Cavett Show in that regard. It's really candid, and honest, and I feel there should be more interviews like that. There's a place for all the fun Jimmy Fallon sketches and all that, but the problem is that EVERY interview is like that and there's no reality.
Mark Maron has been doing these kind of interviews for years.
Maron and Howard Stern have a way of making people comfortable enough to relax. Sometimes the person interviewed will say "nobody's asked me that before" or " I've never told anyone that before". That's gold.
I think it also helps that there's no huge audience waiting for a laugh.
Ethan Hawke is more real than anyone I have ever seen. I really respect him.
Keanu Reeves....that dude is down to Earth
He cheated on Uma Thurman
We're ALL real and phony at the same time. Yes, we're genuinely phony people in a society of make believe values!
@@robfrancis8690 I have no idea...You haven't even given me any context. But my first guess would be that he's had some serious stalker problems in his life and maybe didn't want to be bothered...I'm not going to change my opinion or judge the guy based on some YT comment.
Totally agree, he's kinda like the normal guy who got famous, love the man, love his work and love his insights about life
It really hurts to hear him say he felt that way when he spoke to the students. I understand how he could feel that way though. Society tends to put people on pedestals and it really does isolate them and steal away their humanity. It's unfortunate.
couldnt have said it better myself
and I'm in my early 20s.
I think a bigger theme of his story was the self centered approach of the students. They want to be able to post a picture with a celebrity and tell people they met him. He is entirely an object in those interactions. It's why the culture around selfies is so creepy.
@@elliotmyers625 While selfie culture never fails to annoy me when I witness it, it is mostly a teens and early twenties phenomenon, the most narcissistic years of our lives. And I'm not surprised at all these college kids asked him few questions, they were probably afraid to appear stupid before Ethan and/or their classmates.
@@elliotmyers625: It's why Jim Carrey doesn't do selfies but will have a convo instead. I dig that.
1:07 "I never made a first impression ever again. It's a weird thing to give up."
Calli30641 but that’s not him, that’s the character he’s playing and their first impression
@Calli30641:
And those first impressions are all the same.
He can't change them based on how he feels or who that other person is...
It's forever fixed on screen... Like an assembly line... punch cut, punch cut, punch cut.
@@confusedwhale And he is cast in films due largely to a casting agent's expectation of an Ethan Hawke vibe.
@@hd-xc2lz Exactly. He's one of the most interesting and talented guys working today. Boyhood shoulda won best flick.
@Calli30641 While you are right to an extent that he has this opportunity you mentioned, what I think he means here is , "he" can not make a first impression not his role or character which is crafted by many people along with him i.e crew
I would have LOVED to talk to Ethan Hawke about his craft and talk about films and art. I can't believe film students didn't take that seriously.
Yes... A wasted opportunity. His films with Richard Linklater changed my life.
me too and its funny because you think can a film really do that but it did those films stuck in my head for so many reasons. maybe its that its the most real relationship has felt in film in the sense that your experiencing it in real time and thier expressing all the questions and dreams and beliefs that you have but maybe you havent got there yet or maybe you just havent had a conversation with someone you care about like that or maybe a conversation you care about to care about a person like that. theres that idea that this paralel universe did occur cause here they are 9 years later. Also the reality that there is no other jesse and celene no other people to be these people especially considering they wrote it, or maybe its that i just relate so much to both of them. Ethan feels to me like family now like i love him hes a genius and yet i can see hes human i can see his flaws and they are just as good as the rest. He feels so familiar to me but he is a stranger i dont know shit about him and yet i might know more about him than people i actually do know just from his work and from his interviews. I dont know everyone goes off about the godfather, coppolas a household name because of it , linklater is surely one in the same. people have a hard time with overly romantic films but i think these films are us trying to figure it out love believing it knowing it having no fucking idea except that this connection these moments are real you know every second is savoured.
thelonious monk All the yes! I saw Before Sunset first and thought it was a standalone with a really good flashback at the beginning. At the time, when I first watched it, when Celine is talking about how none of her relationships have any real meaning to them, because she gave all of her soul and romanticism in that night. And that her boyfriends get married after her, I felt that intensely. Like no one would love me. (in a very loving relationship now though) but it's just such a compelling, real, visceral journey the two of them go on and they do grow and change and ilovethemsomuch.
Shame on those students who didn't want to ask him anything. I would have at least asked about the process of becoming/writing Jesse and Celine and told him that they made me believe in love.
I also would have wanted a picture/ told him where I think Celine and Jesse are 9 years on.
Haahaa i also watched before sunset first and got really giddy upon realising how much i liked it that there was one before it, though you know i had to check i wasnt sure either. i think id only had that connection at the time with friends so to see two people have that romantic connection and have that it felt like the best insight into relationships for a teenager. those square ass film students what nobs, i think if any of them really cared about what they are doing that they would have spoken up maybe their shy or just as ethan says detached, unable to see beyond the fame and the desire to show someone off to your buddies. i dont know i think id want to remember the moment rather than get a pic because at least then you have a few more seconds that arent posing for a shot, then again proximity is always good. im glad your in a loving relationship, that bit rung so true for me too though i am still very single not that i could be in a relationship right now which is probably why i was watching that film yesterday and came to watch an ethan hawke interview and now im back where i started fantasising about Ethan Hawke. i dont know maybe its that actors lifes are so weird and different from ours and you think their brains work differently you can not possibly put yourself in their shoes but i get those two more than the rest, they make sense to me, they remind me of people i know and love. there is a great interview on shakespeare with liev shrieber and ethan thats worth checking out.
thelonious monk We're completely on the same page. I think what they've taught us is that love is real but it's also a lot of work. The beginning can be surreal and encompassing that you feel like your in a dream state and you may never find it again, not in the same way. But you can have a deep, soul-connecting relationship when it's right. I don't believe it has to always be a sexual relationship. But it still takes work.
One of my favorite scenes is in the 3rd movie when they are eating lunch with the other couples and they are all talking about their experiences of love. Each one as real as the next but so different. The young couple- together through technology (a nod to 1995 Celine and Jesse who didn't have technology to find each other, but were fated to meet anyways), the middle-aged couple who were interested in how people interact with each other and completely in love and happy as they were, the old woman who tries to remember the face of her passed lover, the old man who loves his wife dearly but lives separate life from her because their love doesn't mean they own each other. Then Jesse and Celine who at 41 are still working out what it means to be parents/step-parents, working/passions and still coming to terms with the portrayal of their love in Jesse's books. Are they still those lovers? How are they growing (apart)? Is a relationship worth it?
IT'S SUCH A BRILLIANT SERIES! I would love to spend hours talking to Ethan Hawke (Julie Delpy, and Richard Linklater) about those movies, and Boyhood.
Never knew Ethan Hawke was such a philosopher. Great conversationalist. Would love an hour with him to pick his brain.
He and Julie Delpy worked very much on the last two scripts for the "Before" series, basically 2 two-hour long conversations.
It started when i was in college just after the movie Reality Bites. He acted in that movie, directed a music video for it, then a few years later wrote a book. He continued to act but then started to direct movies and write screenplays. This guy does it all & i remember reading a Rolling Stone article about him back in '95 about his heroes. They were actors, writers and directors of the 60's & 70's. I have to say now over 20 years later I think he is like some of them.
And you prove his point.
HE SURE FUCKING DISCUSSED ABOUT PHILOSOPHY WHEN HE CHEATED ON UMA WITH THE FUCKING NANNY. THEY DISCUSSED ARISTOLE WHEN HE WAS POUNDING HER LIKE A RABBIT !!!
@Bobs Vegana BITCH I HOPE YOU'RE NOT MARRIED.
For someone to be famous at such a young age he's stayed so real
Bryan Fletcher most people don’t change, the people around you do.
Or got good at pretending to be
Sam Jones is quite possibly the best interviewer ever. An active listener, empathetic, and keeps it light and real which is very difficult. You can tell how at ease all these celebrities are. Late night talk shows need more of his personality.
Media TJ..
Can you imagine if we could watch a "Sam Jones interview" every evening?? 👏👍🌟👏😊🎁🌅🎊🌌!!! Just sayin 😉🌄🌝...
Spot on. Totally agree!
and him too:th-cam.com/video/HIsmJZmOqJM/w-d-xo.html and Buenafuente
He knows many of them personally, I think
Man this really had me paying attention.
I don't actually think I've seen a lot of his movies, but after these interviews, I'd have loved to sit down and actually talk to him. Seems like a clever guy who has more to offer than his fame.
Some great movies he's in: Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight, Boyhood, Dead Poets Society, Gattaca, Training Day, Predestination, Reality Bites, etc. Just to name a few
Bedgypooks Then there's Buried and Locke
He also wrote a pretty good book back in the late 90's called The Hottest State. Gattaca is an amazing movie and for the first time since I saw it in theaters when it came out I watched it on BluRay. It has held up really well and is a great story.
"actually"
You can watch First reformed, Born to be blue, Maudie, Before the devil knows you are dead etc....
I'm shocked. I've never thought that a well-known person could feel so lonely and miserable. I'm feel sorry for Ethan. He might think of the possibility to come to my country (Ukraine), not many people will recognize him)
Hahahaha I think here in Brazil he reeeally could not refresh in beach or something like this. I would attack for a photo as he said it happened
He's just introspective. I'm sure he has full happy life.
IN NAME OF JESUS LETS PRAY FOR HIM THAT THE LORD MAY RESTORE HIS JOY. !
Really? You never once thought about the reality of celebrity life? It sounds absolutely miserable. Being a smaller celebrity might be nice - someone who the world doesn't know your face.
He's sad for other people, the way they are around celebrity. Not sad for himself. He has a full rich life doing what he loves.
Whether you're Famous or unknown, we're all destined to go through this life without anyone ever know who we really are on the inside.
@@essel23fly and once you know yourself, as Ethan said... We're all the same.
And we are all struggling!! All of us!!!
that is why we create art so that we are remembered
@@000274400 Maybe for you, but for people who are truly creative, the art MUST COME OUT no matter how it is perceived by others (or even if it is seen by others).
@@grittykitty50 you implying destiny
i wouldn't mind a picture, but I'd much prefer a real conversation any day.
The only reason any of us would want a picture is to increase some perceived value of our lives, specifically through social media and our social standing. We want to be liked, admired, cherished, loved - by everyone, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but we just go about it in the wrong way. In the perfect world, we would all be our true selves and everyone would accept and like us the way we are, thus eliminating the need to raise our social value. We can all start today by accepting who we are and thriving in that, regardless of what others think, and in turn we can start to accept those around us in the same way.
@@pascalrouen Unless you wanted a personal reminder that you'd had a real, meaningful conversation. A reminder that everyone else actually is a real person.
@@lapelcelery42 Speaking of experience, I still vividly remember the meaningful meetings I had with some famous people from 30 years ago. You won't need a photo I assure you. If you ask for it, it only serves as a token of validation of yourself to others.
@@the_arcanum I don't expect I'd ever feel the need to take a photo like that, but I don't think you can blanket pigeonhole the act. Someone could easily take a photo just to keep the moment and never even show it to anyone else.
Wow. ...a selfie.
Heartbreaking missed opportunity.
Can you imagine the rich conversation? The tricks, subtleties and industry nuances they could had learned? I think I learned the most about his profession, by Ethan's verbal input at one of the Sundance Festivals. ...and, I'm not even an actor. I just thought what he had to say, about his love for storytelling, to be fascinating.
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far
So glad I found this channel. Thanks for making these, to everyone involved.
Wow this video is really powerful , really somber , almost heartbreaking to hear how he can't feel like a regular human being
I used to bump into so many Hollywood types when we lived in LA. I always kept it real. Never, ever spoke to them about their careers. Had some amazing long chats with Ewan McGregor, Alanis Morissette and Shirley Manson, among others. Treat them like regular folk, they love it!!
He has so much humility.
such a good show. so much depth and opens up these artists ive never seen in other interviews
One of my friends once bumped into James Hetfield from metallica, on the street. When my friend asked him for an autograph, Hetfield said that he didn't wrote autographs, but that he would be more than happy to shake his hand, and that he had time for a short conversation, until he had to go again. Must be strange and lonely to live like that, sometimes.
Wow! That was an incredible 3 minutes of realness. His reaction to the students just wanting a photo and it actually being heartbreaking, I believe that totally.
The nature of my moms job, she met a lot of famous people, on a custodial level... and she worked with Ethan Hawke for about a week. He wrote her a long thank you note at the end, thanking her for her hard work. He’s a cool guy.
love these interviews! thanks for sharing
One of the most underrated actors, and my favorite...
He is surprisingly self aware and down to earth. Seems mad chill and really wise. I'm even more of a fan now
So well put. That said, every single person making a comment here is also trying to be heard. Famous, not famous, we all just want to connect
Ethan Hawke - in my opinion - has never been in a bad movie. He just chooses great stories.
I worked with Ethan on “Assault on Precinct 13”. Real nice guy, could tell he just wanted to be normal.
In which department u worked?
Locations Department. I’m not in the biz any longer.
"What No One Told Ethan Hawke About Being Famous" - Reading this title, I was pretty confident the "thing noone told him" would be something I have heard several times already in other interviews with other people. I was not ready for the depth of the idea of "never making first impression ever again". I am not overstating one bit when I say there isn't a single interviewer in the world (that I know of) that would come even close to this depth in these interviews. It's a whole other level. People compliment the guys that does the interviews with Hot Chicken Wings for being well prepared and having great question, but I have never heard an actual personal thought in any of those interviews. And now I'm here at Ethan Hawke, I just finished watching Bo Burnham, and I'm like ... THIS is what the word "interview" mean. I want to hear the ideas and thoughts of these people that I find interesting, and I have never heard them anywhere else like I've heard them on this channel.
For some reason celebrities are considered public property but I don't think of them like that. Just because they entertain me does not mean I own them or that people should stalk them or harass them.
Anna Vajda you don't think of them like but you still see them that way, that's how it is
Hello there. Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far?
If any famous person ever tries to have a deep conversation with me I go with it. I've met many celebrities and by listening to them as regular people I've learned so much.
This is such an insightful interview
When you become famous you’re put in isolation. Wow that’s profound and sad at the same time.
Wasn’t expecting to have my attention drawn to this so much. A fascinating insight into a world so few of us know. Seems like a very grounded analysis by an observant man. Good actor too 👍
That was awesome. Way to strip things down to their core
It’s so refreshing to hear him speak so candidly. Very real.
I remember Ethan Hawke doing an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit quite some time ago. It was amazing!
While some celebs just use the AMA to push their new project he replied to everyone with lengthy thought out replies.
He really set the bar high that day
0:37 Man that "thank you" had me rolling!
Great actor though, I don't think I have seen someone as real as Ethan Hawke during interviews
His last sentence, "We're just the same. All of us" is what is key because it is so profoundly true. Hawke is one of the few actors today who is real.
The isolation of celebrity is an interesting phenomenon. I attended a book launch by Ethan Hawke in Cambridge, MA (Harvard Bookstore/Brattle Theatre) when he had just written "Rules for a Knight" as an offering for his own young kids. He spoke beautifully and affectionately of his wife and family and was generous with his time in answering questions from the Cambridge crowd (the event was "booked" out with those who had bought "signed" copies, as I did). I have always really liked Ethan Hawke as an actor, from Explorers, especially in Dead Poets Society right through to the present precisely because of who he really seems to be beyond his celebrity: real, funny, modest, balanced. I wonder if his first real acting experience as a young adult (with Peter Weir directing in "Dead Poets Society", Robin Williams as an older inspiration and Robert Sean Leonard as a colleague and then life-long buddy might have had an effect - he says that it did).
Once (I am a reasonably well-known classical musician/recording artist and owner of a CD label) I had an unexpected encounter with mainstream celebrity that illustrates what Ethan Hawke is saying here. I was in our recording studio in Roslindale, MA, arranging copies of our latest release (one of my own in a complete set of Bach keyboard works - a big project) onto shelves when in walked an unusual looking group of folks, the leader a shortish guy in leather jacket, sunglasses: I thought he looked a bit like Mick Jagger's shorter twin, but I didn't recognize him. We got to talking; he was warm, funny, knowledgeable, unpretentious: he and his band wanted to try this studio and he asked if I had known anyone who recorded there. I replied: "I have, myself, quite recently". "So, you're a recording artist?". "Yes", I replied, but in "classical" music. He then offered that his dad was a huge fan of Bach & Debussy (it spurred his own early interest in music) and he wanted to know if he could buy a copy of my latest CD (it was Bach: this was in 2001).
I gave him a copy and he was grateful; he then asked if I could sign it for him. I laughed at this and replied "Sure, but it won't increase its value at all". He then asked if I would sign it to him "personally". I thought: "this is a bit weird", but acquiesced, and dedicated the CD "to Steven". All this time the young twenty-somethings who shared our office space were staring fixedly on the visitor (certainly not at me)! After the group had left I said to them: "What were you staring at?" And they replied: "You have no idea who that was, do you,?" And, indeed, I didn't. It was Steven Tyler and the band members were Aerosmith, just come in to check out our space. I think he was totally thrilled that there was one person on the planet who had no idea who he was; it seemed to extend our conversation that he enjoyed anonymity, at least for a little while. Ah, the isolation of celebrity.
I think Ethan Hawke is a fine and thoughtful actor/artist; a person of substance and a wonderful human being, from all the interviews I've seen with him. I'd love to know him!
This channel is the modern day 'inside the actors studio' great format done extremely well, I'd even say that this is more intimate than that
Thank you Ethan. So real. A new perspective on life for me from this brief interview. Just wonderful.
Hello there. Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far?
"We are just the same, all of us", true. Thank you Ethan. Always love your autenticity
Great conversation!

Was never a big fan of Ethan Hawke but this interview changed my mind. Great clip and thanks to both interviewer and interviewee.
I really appreciate his honesty. Very humble person
I read a novel by Ethan Hawke many years ago and it was really good.
That was a brilliant segment. Good questions and very poignant answers. Thought provoking and honest.
I never thought I would pay to watch an interview but I just did to watch this in full, and it was worth it.
Oh my god. This eloquence and metaphores, he has such an exquisite way to make himself understood. I just felt what he was trying to say perfectly.
Hello there. Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far?
I think this is an awesome interview. The majority of it is simply Ethan talking, but there is so much to take from this. Lessons and introspections for life. Lots of wisdom and just a genuinely interesting person. I've always liked Ethan as an Actor, but you rarely get to see them as "real people". There's a huge amount of depth to this guy and It's a wonderful thing.
Wow... I never thought about this before. It's sad and insightful.
I love this level of authenticity ...
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far
I love, love, LOVE Sam Jones. Best interviewer I've ever seen. He gives something of himself in all his interviews, he treats everyone who comes on his show like regular human beings, with such respect. It brings such depth to the conversations. All the videos I've watched on his channel are absolute gold. Thank you, Sam!
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far
So authentic ...... appreciate his wisdom..... ⭐️

Before Sunrise + Sunset + Midnight = Legendary
Your show creates a really spectacular environment for your guests. I think you do a service to folks like Ethan in that you tease out the parts of them that people may not know or had never appreciated before. I wouldn't be surprised if Ethan offered to come back any time - I'm sure you're a pleasure to sit across from and talk to. 11/10
I used to work PT as a security guard at the airport. One summer afternoon, Mr. Hawke arrived on an international flight with his family, in order to spend time at their cottage. He wanted to know where the car rental agencies were and approached me for assistance. Of course, l realized who he was (as I'm a fan), but didn't let on and let him enjoy not being pestered while in public with his wife and kids. I gave him his directions, smiled and welcomed him to Nova Scotia, just like a regular guy. Just like he says in the video, they're people too and l wouldn't want his fame for anything. I hope they all had a good vacation.
I've really enjoyed you at Sundance, felt a first impression and felt your authenticity ♡
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far
This feels like a deep therapy session
I could listen to Ethan Hawke talk about everything and anything for hours. The guy bestows profundity like no other actor/man imo. Genuine guy with a sincere sagacity.
I'm a film maker and one ofy dreams has been to work with this guy. And I swear to God I will one day. Very talented and one of my favourite actors.
i seen this whole interview and still to this day it was the most honest talk i've ever heard from a celebrity
Hello there. Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far?
@@ethanhawke8369 well EATHAN i was going to ignore this but i've got nothing better to do so i'll play along that this is really you.. TRAINING DAY/ THE PURGE/ ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13...i hope KNIVES OUT 2 is a big success...be safe an stay healthy
That's the best 2 and a half minutes I will spend today. Those 25-year old film-school 'students' lost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have a meaningful conversation when all they wanted was a selfie with him. Man, I loved what he had to say.
these interviews are great
These are freakin fantabulous....well done lads.
This guy is a such a good interviewer. Lays back a bit but when he interjects, it's not self-promoting but a valid point that moves the interview along to a better place. Reminds of Johnny Carson in the way he would tweak the interview but not place himself at center.
This guy’s questions/commentary is always 100.
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far
Wow!! This sooo good!!
Great to his fans. Never turns down an autograph and he is criminally underrated.
That is the most honesty of a famous person I've ever seen.
When I was in high school I was always super quiet and then I was doing these spot on voice impressions and there were so many people surrounding me loving it so much , felt good for a moment... then it kinda started becoming a daily request for them and after a while I kinda stopped doing them cuz the attention was eating away my privacy and made me reflect on the whole reason why all the attention was so easy and it didn't really make me fulfilled. That's when I said to myself " Being famous?? I don't know if I could do this everyday..."
Fulfillment comes from within... and not from External things 💯 so happy I learned this early
I'm 19 and I would absolutely love to have a conversation with Ethan about his life, his acting process or whatever other wisdom he would be kind enough to give me. Shame on anyone who only wants a photo from this man.
I’ve always loved Ethan Hawk movie roles, he has such great artist taste.
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far
Very insightful..... Love Ethan Hawke!
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far
This channel is giving me the best advice I needed for the profession I want get into
I loved so many of his films
would love to have a chat with him
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far
amazing talk
I want to be real with Ethan! He’s always been one of the realest and one of my most favorite actors.
One of the most beloved actors to me ❤
Such beautiful 3 minutes. It should be shown to every person wanting to be an actor.
This made me cry.
One of the best (and underrated) actors.
That’s so true: about isolation and fame. One thing that he didn’t mention is how you have to be able to discern subtext. How when you’re famous everyone wants something from you and you have to be able to interpret things differently, like it’s a different language.
Fantastic, Ethan. Love you, brother
He's awesome
Hawke shines!
wow. this was so insightful and also heartbreaking to hear. very brave of him to share that vulnerability.
Hello there. Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far?
People generally don’t understand the sacrifices talented ones make in order to share with the public what they have inside. It’s a shame.
Training Day, still one of my favorites
Wow-a lot of interesting thoughts in just a three minute clip. Seems like a cool guy to hang out with
Ever since I was a little kid I never understood why psycho level stalking is perfectly legal as long as all of us are doing it. It needs to become illegal for us to follow peoples lives the way that we do. It has zero benefits, is demonstrably detrimental to the individual, and is a serious violation of their rights as a human being to not have every fuckin move they make judged by the world.
Seems like a good dude in a land of psychos
Kevin Bacon once told a story about putting on a bit of a disguise: fake nose, a little make-up, etc. And proceeding to be "among the normals" for a bit of time. It was fun at first, but being ignored, not having the perks of celebrity, turned him off to the entire thing about being normal. The point is that famous people lament about being famous, but very few would give up the perks and the prestige. People bagging groceries for a living are enduring a greater version of Hell.
Everybody complains about something they seemingly can't have. Non-famous people wish they were famous. Famous people wish they weren't famous.
Single people wish they were married. Married people wish they were single.

Married people don’t trust single people, either.
Why don't married people trust single people? o.O
I don't want to be famous, exactly because of what Ethan said. The thing about it is, which makes it a bit more frigthening: it's kinda irreversible. In two ways actually: 1) it will take decades to not be recognized as much anymore. 2) and due to the lengthiness of that process you will probably never get back to a proper "normal" life.
This actually broke my heart
I have to wonder how genuine this really is. Its hard to tell with famous people.
One of the most underrated actors of this generation 🙌
