Actor, writer, and director Ethan Hawke (Before Sunrise, Training Day, Dead Poets Society) rides the subway with Kareem Rahma for a raw conversation about art, fame, and what really matters. He breaks down why chasing money ruins creativity, why fame is a trap, and why true artists make work for the love of it, not for applause. Along the way, Ethan reflects on The Beatles, humility, and the idea that the real miracle isn’t walking on water, it’s walking at all.

This resonates totally.... do something you're proud of and that feeds your soul and chances are you'll end up broke. Very interesting conversation.

Thanks for sharing the video, Pat Alexander. I've been there. Chasing money. I wrote scripts and took jobs fot the money. They weren't projects that I was excited about or pushed me creatively, and I could've been working on my projects instead. But I needed the money at the time. So, it depends.
