Ethan Hawke

You know what I'm saying?

There's so much about when I'm in your space, so much I don't know about what's going on today and what you guys are doing later today or how you cut the show or what's important to you about the show.

My brain disappears into that other psyche.

And I can kind of do some of the normal stuff of life, drive my kids to school and do some things.

But this part of me is floating over here imagining, was this the right way to – how should I wear the jacket?

Would he drive a car?

What kind of car would he drive?

Is that the right car?

Is that the right – like, you know, just my imagination when it's really cooking.

It takes me away.

My favorite things about it is I don't think about my phone.

I don't think about the emails I didn't return.

I didn't think about whether I forgot so-and-so's birthday.

For this period of time, this job is so important to me that I'm willing to say no.

Nothing else matters.

But doing as good as I can in this moment.

Obviously, it's going to matter again when I leave the dressing room and when I do this.

Obviously, I'm trying to be a good adult and father and husband and citizen and all that stuff.

But it gives me a space where I...

Everything else can disappear.
