In 1991, you took your dead poet society money and used it for a down payment on the Sanford Meisner theater in New York City. You and Josh Hamilton and Jonathan Mark Sherman founded the Malapart theater company. What made you decide to do that as opposed to high tailing it to Hollywood? "I had no interest in anything but a life in the arts"
From the profound experience of making “Dead Poets Society” to the “Before” trilogy and his marvelous new book, Ethan Hawke discusses a life spent celebrating creativity in its many forms.
