Their deliberate actions reflected a desire to nurture her genuine interest in acting at her own pace. In an interview withThe GuardianMaya Hawke revealed,
They were wary of the public life side of acting and the difficulties of that. They also tried to protect me from falling into acting, They wanted to ensure I had a strong enough backbone, my own passion for it and work ethic. They didn’t want to cart me along every red carpet or have me do bit-parts in their movies. Once I was old enough, and it was clear they were my choices, they were very supportive

It’s OK to be made fun of when you’re in rarefied air,–It’s a lucky place to be. My relationships with my parents are really honest and positive, and that supersedes anything anyone can say about it
