How to make a scary movie human, take a movie like sinister. how can i make that guy so real so that the scary elements of it are more scary and it functions as a genre movie - as the way it's supposed to, you want to hear a ghost story at midnight, that's a good one - but how do you fill it up with humanity inside, in staying true to the genre? you know? does that make sense?

More From Ethan Hawke

There is a difference between the holy ghost and the gift of the holy ghost. cornelius received the holy ghost before he was baptized, which was the convincing power of god unto him of the truth of the gospel, but he could not receive the gift of the holy ghost until after he was baptized. had he not [been baptized], the holy ghost which convinced him of the truth of god, would have left him.
Differences Ghost Holy
Every comedian has a moment in his life when he realizes he's a little bit different from everyone else. it's like being the only guy in a movie who sees the ghost. the ghost talks to you and you talk to him. then you turn to your friend and say, "hey. do you see that ghost? and he says, what ghost?"
Guy Comedian Different
For me george bush is just as scary, if not more. because he doesn't look like a scary guy, because he's shaved and he has a tie on. but he's a real fanatic - a fanatic by definition is the one who says, if you are not with me, you are against me, and that's exactly the position he takes. the mullahs in my country, it's obvious. but a guy who says i am the president of the biggest secular democracy in the world and asks people to read the bible and make crusades and says he's god's best friend - this guy is even more scary because you don't see it at the beginning.
Country Real Ties
The story is the only thing that's important. everything else will take care of itself. it's like what bowlers say. you hear writers talk about character or theme or mood or mode or tense or person. but bowlers say, if you make the spares, the strikes will take care of themselves. if you can tell a story, everything else becomes possible. but without story, nothing is possible, because nobody wants to hear about your sensitive characters if there's nothing happening in the story. and the same is true with mood. story is the only thing that's important.
Character Writing Important
I read a story about some old opera singer once, and when a guy asked her to marry him, she took him backstage after she had sung a real triumph, with all the people calling for her, asked, 'do you think you could give me that?' that story hit me right, man. i know no guy ever made me feel as good as an audience. i'm really far into this now, really committed. like, i don't think i'd go off the road for long now, for life with a guy no matter how good. yeah, it's the truth. scary thing to say though, isn't it?
Real Men Thinking
The spy genre is something i loved.it also extends to the bad guy because i think, to me, what i love the most about the spy genre is when you have a great bad guy. what makes a great bad guy, to me, is the logic. what he's about has to make sense to me, that if i was in his shoes, yeah, right, that makes sense.

Let’s go, let’s go together toward something extraordinary and i started making plans, thinking we would get that far.

Once i was lost in a forest. i was so afraid. my blood pounded in my chest and i knew my heart's strength would soon be exhausted. i saved myself without thinking. i grasped the two syllables closest to me, and replaced my heartbeat with your name.
Heart Thinking Blood
It is not only vain, but wicked, in a legislator to frame laws in opposition to the laws of nature, and to arm them with the terrors of death. this is truly creating crimes in order to punish them.
