Maya Hawke

“I really love my family. The more independence that I get and the more freedom that I have, the more interested I am in being a dedicated and involved family member.”

“I want to tell stories that are true and that resonate and move people, that highlight both the tremendous beauty and ugliness available in the human experience.”

“I've never been interested in a career in modelling, I was interested in my independence. When I was in school, modelling was what I needed to reach independence without having to leave.”

“I was given a new coat as a high school graduation gift.”

“It can't be articulated enough, that feminism means the desire to have equality between men and women. I believe that, and I act on those beliefs by going to marches and making a difference where I can.”

“I have sometimes felt pressure to dress a certain way because of everyone else. You know what I mean? Girls in high school and strangers on the street have put way more pressure on me to dress a certain way than my mom or dad.”
