old RSL quotes in an Ethan Hawke interview/article
I'm going through old Wilson Livejournal comms now and I found this:
The topic of marriage came up recently with Robert Sean Leonard -a good friend of Hawke's since they starred in 1989's Dead Poets Society- when they had dinner with Leonard's fiancee. She was awed by Hawke's passionate way of talking about marriage. "She said to be later in the cap," Leonard recalls, "'God, I've never met anyone who just searches for the truth the way he does.' He's like, 'I'm with you and you guys are getting married and so let's talk about what's here at this table.'"
The subject has been on Hawke's mind lately. After all, he's in the midst of a very public breakup from his wife of five years, Uma Thurman. But it seems a little... odd -and not quite in his self-interest- to be delving so honestly into the subject with a journalist.
"He doesn't run from the moment," explains Leonard. "He bravely walks into it and expresses himself. And risks sounding pretentious or being rejected or whatever -he doesn't shy away from it."
It brings to mind that old line from Dead Poets, carpe diem, sieze the day.
"Yeah. If someone asked me which friend that phrase reminded me of, I wouldn't hesitate," Leonard says. "I mean, look at his life.""
