“[My dad and I have] been engaged in the act of making art together my entire life.” – Maya Hawke
“I felt that the Eye of Sauron had come to look at me once I started doing Stranger Things.” – Maya Hawke
“The weight of Stranger Things, in combination with the weight of my parents, I was getting looked at more than I had deserved or earned.” – Maya Hawke
“I knew that the girl on Stranger Things with famous parents would get reviewed by people that had no business reviewing a first album on an indie label of a young girl figuring it out. I was scared of being reviewed badly. I understood why people would criticize it.” – Maya Hawke
“I kind of reached a point where I didn’t know if I liked the way that I existed in the world.” – Maya Hawke
“Run towards kindness. Accept the love you have in your life. Give love and be loved and kind of resign yourself to who you are.” – Maya Hawke
