This is maybe one of the most underrated actors from these modern times. He can literally speak to you through the camera and he reaches you with his message. Amazing.
The best music I've ever written comes from jams and what I hear in my head. I love watching him struggle to describe what he's saying, because in reality, what he's saying is hard to put into words. In hindsight, it's hard to think about the steps you took to create a piece of art. When you have a general goal which you wish to end up at, and throw that goal into the backseat or put it in your subconscious per se, the creation process naturally works toward the goal, or perhaps somewhere better.
Wow. I wasn't expecting that, especially from a very handsome and popular Hollywood celebrity. I had no idea about the depth of Ethan Hawke's creativity & wisdom. I'm going to add this video to my Rewatch playlist. He articulated so well the process of the artist, and a playbook (unintended pun) for life. Thank you, Big Think and Ethan.
I love seeing people in the comments surprised by his depth and awareness. I’ve loved Ethan since I was a young girl and his first movie, the explorers and have followed his career. He is a great actor and brilliant writer as well and seems so thoughtful and down to earth. Love this so much!
I bumped into Mr. Hawke in a Goodwill store in New York about 18 years ago and he was so polite. Then a few moments later we had one of those double excuse-me-excuse-me moments and we both laughed. His getup in this video made me think of this. Cool guy with smarts.
the process when one is creating is such a trip & you never know when you hit those high notes that motivate you too keep going & let the inspiration flow
Almost didn't watch this because I didn't realise how awesome Ethan Hawke is. I mean, I like him in movies but most actors are so disappointing when they're themselves.
It almost sounds to me as if Ethan Hawke is describing what I understand to be intuition. One's intuition is a storehouse of incredible wisdom and knowledge. However, information provided by the intuition has to be rationally scrutinised by the intellect before action is taken. Intuition, like the intellect is fallible. They just become less fallible when they align.
no i think you are making it bit complicated than its intended. Its more to do with not thinking about the act, instead , doing the act which can be called as Flow. In such state you have addressed what the intellectual mind requires without thinking on it
I love this, it reminds me of jordan peterson talking about why we like watching movies. we are drawn to some stories because there's a truth to them, even if they don't seem so at the surface.
Funny story .. I just started watching Lincoln Lawyer and Trevor Elliot resembles Ethan Hawke (who I crushed on hard when I was younger) and so he’s been on my mind the last couple of days. Then this video appears on my feed today 🤣 I swear reality is stranger than fiction 🙃
I wonder what he would say to the philosophers that infer that 'the self' is an illusion. I mostly agree with his ideas on creativity, but I don't believe we all have a 'core-self' from birth.
dead poets society rocked. definitely feeling ya. especially when you speak about how its learning to channel self. to channel what you have learned. lots of zen meditators experience oneness and then assume a gnostic position. its wierd. from seeking to understand the nature of self they arrive at a position of clarity. this clarity then becomes blinding and they assume they are tapping into something deeper in the universe where they should not. at least not given an agnostic viewpoint. they have a deeper understanding of their own self that is true and being unable to seperate self from the experience of self they go and start making claims that have no root in reality. fear of death is that powerful im guessing. it becomes the wish fulfilling gem empty and illusory. there is that which surpasses the wish fulfilling gem. that is the determination to achieve and you know full well the value of that determination based on what you have shared.
For ad much as i can stand here and claim the notion that in my imaginative creativity connected this clip to my present moment (which it has), it is even more gigantically epic from Ethan’s point of view. . .7 years ago from this/my present moment. Today. 2022: W w w w h h h h o o o o o o o o a a h! 🤯
he was asked by other people, to talk about his process. and he did exactly that, fluidly, elucidating with story, in a way that has an overflow of grateful comments on here. looks like you're the only one bitter about it, you noncontributing zero.

I don't get a thing bro

Thank you, Big Think and Ethan.
That thumbnail pic, though.
Looks like the model has quite the nosebleed. Or a PSA about domestic violence.
Couldn't agree more. An excellent, accessible insight into a creative process.
i see the disciplined skilled spontaneity in drawings, paintings, and even in basketball players.
Wow. This helped me more than any other video Ive ever seen. Truly. Thanks Ethan!!

That's awesome!
The fact that he was in a goodwill store even after being in big films is exactly how I imagine he would be.
Holy shit. I had no idea Ethan was this down to earth.

him and linklater are joined at the hip..loved the before sereis
This was incredibly insightful and useful.
I now respect this man even more.
This guy can legit start a cult during a monologue. I'll be his first joiner.
I have so much more respect for this guy now. I was kinda bummed when the vid ended haha
This guy is something else. ❤️

Thank you. Dope ideas.
Stillness is the only freedom.
Everything he says is true. It's refreshing to listen to him.
This, is why I like you so much Ethan.
it's called FLOW
I liked his Bob Dylan impression.
is that a mushroom for avatar??
No, it's a dick and butt.
Hot Dog 😮
1:25 👌👌👌

I love this man and his movie
So true!
There is wisdom in his words. The wording could be a bit better though (for communicating to others)
Ethan Hawke!!!❤️❤️💖💖💖💖💖💖
Love him so much!!!❤️💖💖💖💖💖
More please!
Yes we all have it ! ☺️
Shared. Good man
Incredibly wise guy...
I wonder what he would say to the philosophers that infer that 'the self' is an illusion.

Yeah me neither, I think he means the self that is generated over time by all the debris that is thrown at us that eventually shapes our egos?
mark jonkman You don't need the concept of the self to make his inferences.
great video thank you Ethan
from my best friend's problem, the problem is the game, he always gamble everything, and lost everytime. idk
Wow wow wow Helpful and so many levels thank you
You are the real deal Ethan honest wise & Generative
Beautiful video!
good one
He's good.
Yes. Correct.

wow this is so important. these are the stories that need to be told. or whatever.
Brilliant.
Mindblowing...

Thank you my Brother 💚 I love you forever 🌈
holy sh... one of the best talks
Love it
THANKS FOR NOT PUTTING HORRIBLE EPIC MUSIC OVER THIS. I'M NOT YELLING YOU'RE YELLING.
But where does the subconscious comes from. Cue David Chalmers.
I'd think this is more of the preconscious than the subconscious. I don't think the subconscious has that much effect unless we are dreaming.
Is that both night dreams as well as daydreams, Ryan???
Think mechanic guy is so intelligent
i like how he explain ‘ambiguous ‘ n ’vogue’, master wugui is being ambiguous, my pretentious coworker is being vogue
Ethan meant vague, not vogue.
@@jayenneB typo. thank you for spotting it.
I just hope he is using it legally :P
Hahaha so hypocritical coming from you Kenny, been cheesing at all lately? LOL
“You’re channeling yourself” agh, si.
Huh? This went over my head or I didn't have enough coffee this morning
That was a little bit ambiguous .
i'll have what he's having!
sebastien longo People with cold feet cannot move forward. People with narrow minds cannot move side to side. Which do you have? Perhaps both.
I would guess it was just a morning coffee.
boyhood was really vague though

🤯
All these creative intellectual (rich fucking) people like Jazz... and make comparisons.
You wanna be creative or you wanna go home
you must be empty like a vessel to realize that you are full.
I subbed because Penn Jillette. The quality of the speakers lately has sucked.
OK Ethan settle down
Fill it up regular. Oh sorry thought I was getting gas.
Thanks a lot. Now I lost THE GAME
He kind of just babbled and barely sad anything about the subject just told stories.
Artists are mainly"right brained"(intuitive)...Try TED:meditation,lucid dreaming,fasting,banned;Waking Life,Manifesting the Mind,MAPS,Living Matrix,binaural beats,tummo,tulpa,lung gom pa,yoga nidra,natural law,science of lucid dreaming.
The title is garbled nonsense... go figure...
get over your self ethan.....
