The Joe Rogan Experience · #2425 - Ethan Hawke · 11 Dec 2025 podcast

I've kind of lost why you should play the game.

Yeah, 100%.

And the trick for me is, well, I do want to be a professional actor.

I like being relevant.

I like making relevant art.

I like talking to people and communicating with people.

So you have to figure out that balance of like, all right, this is how I pay my bills.

This is, you know, what facilitates all my whole life.

So I have to...

be a little attentive to the professional part of my brain and not let it diminish the kid in me.

And to keep them both in some kind of balance.

And that's, for me, been my adult life.

And that's the thing where we're talking about boxing or fighting or acting or whatever.

The thing about the 100% focus is it...

By shedding everything, there's a discipline to that about seeing all the little details.

I find, for example, in acting, they always talk about this, is he a good listener?

One of the things, are you responding naturally like a human being?

Can you listen?

In the art of teaching myself about acting, about how to be present with my scene partner, I've learned how to be present with you.

with my kids, when I'm at a baseball game with my friends.
