#EthanHawke says he’s never felt afraid to speak his mind “until the last couple of years.”
“There’s a fear in the air that I’ve never felt before — and it’s not America,” Hawke told Variety on Monday night at Sundance. “To be an artist in a free country is a privilege. I don’t feel that way anymore. And that has to change.”
