Ethan Hawke

And I would venture to say, we're doing pretty well.

Three quarters of the time, we're completely immersed in what we're talking about.

And then my brain, why my computer shut down is I started thinking about this actor that I love, Richard Easton.

And I started thinking about how I'm still not as good as he is.

He's not even famous.

And then I couldn't remember what I was going to say.

And you're talking to me about your kids.

There's no way your mind doesn't drift to something going on in your life.

And mine does too.

And

And so that's what real life is like.

And the actor's job is to figure out the text and have the text be so clear and in there that then you can figure out all the other wavelengths.

You know, when you're watching somebody grade, there's all these other wavelengths that are happening.

It's not that they have nothing to do with the script, but it's like the difference between a sketch and an oil painting.

The script is kind of a beautiful sketch, and the actor's job, director's job, production designer's job, we're turning that into an oil painting.

So anyway, I'm just saying, if I could put a subtitle under everything we're really thinking while we're talking, how different would it be?

And how much more would I learn about you if I knew what your guy's relationship is really like?

Does he get on your nerves?

Do you hate it that he wears a black cap?

Do you wish you'd wear the red one?
