Ethan Hawke

even the man has spent years of his life editing my performances.

So anytime he would see me, he would say, I saw you, I saw you, I saw you.

And he was, I saw you, Ethan Hawke and not Larry Hart and not Larry.

And so the physical things are kind of, you know, they're kind of easy.

They're superficial ultimately, if they don't unlock the soul of the man.

Right.

Um,

Anybody can shave their head and do a comb over.

But it was really the soul of a person who was loathing themselves.

And at the same time,

thinks they're smarter than everybody else.

And his intellect is his only power.

His pride in his work is his only self-worth.

And that is being stripped from him on this night.

I mean, imagine if you only worked with one other person for 25 years and you achieved incredible heights and this person now doesn't want to work with you anymore.

So it's truly heartbreaking for him because I think he's smart enough to know that the world is changing.

We're in the middle of the war.

The jazz age is being left behind.

Something new is happening and he's not going to be a part of it.

And he feels a titanic plate shifting, you know, and he's being sent away to Antarctica or something.
