Maya Hawke

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 think valuing what your body can do over how your body looks is the No. 1 advice I would give to young women about how to have healthy body image. It's not, 'Do these pants fit?' It's 'Can I do a split?'

Eventually, I realized that there was only so much that I could put in the way of my happiness, and acting made me happier than anything else.
