Quotes
“There are things that are hard about coming from a divorced family, but having two houses is not one of those things.”
“I’m not interested in hiding from the fact that my parents are actors. I’m proud of them! It’s very ordinary to pursue a career that your parents do, but when it’s in the public eye, it becomes a complicated thing.”
“In general, I feel very happy with how I got to have time on my own at least a little bit outside of the public eye.”
“The thing about acting that’s unlike any other art form is that it’s collaborative; directing and acting are a collaboration, and your acting won’t succeed if the lighting design doesn’t succeed or sets don’t succeed.”
“You want to put out good vibes for the viewers, even if so many stories that have to be told and that need to be told have a lot of darkness in them, because the world has a lot of darkness in it.”
“I love my family. We have a very rich, complicated relationship.”
Maya Hawke is a strong believer in performance, which is why she always goes the extra mile to deliver the best performance for the audience as well as her fans.
