I asked him once at Tosca's Bar in San Francisco how he did it. His reply was, "I get up in the morning." The most laconic response I have had ever heard.

Really enjoyed watching this. First acting audition will be for a Sam Shepard play in Indianapolis. I was on a split decision before, but why not try to do something like this?

Why when I Google Ethan hawke in sam Shepards plays... he pops up as a director? Yet he is clearly acting at 1:23. Why is this?
