Ethan Hawke erinnert sich, wie er Robin Williams‘ private Kämpfe am Set der Dead Poets Society gespürt hat: „Es war anstrengend“

> „I’ve had a lot of depression in my family, and it was obvious to me that all that power and that charisma came at a certain cost,“ Hawke said, describing Williams as „a deeply, deeply sensitive person who was highly attuned to the energy of a room.“

> Hawke then recalled a moment on set when Williams was „making up lines, and everybody’s laughing, everybody’s praising him.“ Later, though, things were different. „Then I went to get a glass of water, you know, get a bagel or something, and I saw him hiding in a little corner. He was hiding in the dark by himself. And I [thought], ‚Okay, it makes a lot more sense to me now.‘ It was a lot. It was taxing.“
