He added that he also “never worried” about Maya “going into the arts, because I knew that was gonna save her life.”
While Hawke didn’t expand on any one incident in particular that he regretted, he and Maya’s mother, Uma Thurman, were married for six years and are both in the public eye.
The two actors were also the subject of great tabloid speculation, with rumors that Hawke left Thurman for their children’s nanny, Ryan Shawhughes. Hawke and Shawhughes later confirmed their relationship by tying the knot in 2008. They have two children together.
Hawke recently opened up about his divorce from Thurman in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.
“The public eye is like gasoline, but what makes divorce hard is the stuff that makes it hard for everyone — the family elements, how to help the kids through it,” he said in an interview published last month.
He added that he “can’t really talk about this because I vowed to my kids so many times not to talk about the divorce in public.”
“But one thing I will say is if you get the privilege of traveling the world, you realize that everywhere men and women have a tremendous amount of difficulty staying married,” Hawke added. “When I split up I was hellbent on not having any more kids and I wanted to be single for the rest of my life. But then I made a best friend and I liked kissing her.”
