While the Training Day actor didn’t expand on what the hardships were for Maya, Ethan—who is also dad to son Levon, 23, with Uma, as well as daughters Clementine Jane, 17, and Indiana, 14, with wife Ryan—shared how incredible it was to watch Maya find her voice at as artist.
“I remember some teacher said, ‘Maya, are you happy?’ ‘Cause they were worried about her,” he recalled. “And she said something to the effect of, ‘Do you really think that’s the question?’ I thought, ‘I love this kid.’ She was about 13.”
He continued, “[Maya said], ‘I don’t think that’s a very interesting question. I think there’s a lot more interesting questions than whether I’m happy or not. Am I happy? No. But I don’t aspire to be happy.’ So I never worried about her going into the arts, because I knew that was gonna save her life.”
