She further shared: "They wanted to ensure I had a strong enough backbone, my own passion for it, and work ethic.
"They didn’t want to cart me along every red carpet or have me do bit-parts in their movies."
Maya added: "Once I was old enough, and it was clear they were my choices, they were very supportive.
When asked about her favorite movie roles that she's seen her famous parents in, she said: "It’s funny, I haven’t seen them all.
"Sometimes you don’t really want to watch your mom getting shot or your dad go through painful emotions, even though you know it’s pretend."
She went on to say: "So mostly I only watch the happy ones.
"One of my favorite movies of my mom’s is The Producers, where she’s dancing around being fabulous.
"That’s much more fun to see than John Travolta jamming a needle into her heart."
