Stella Maeve is one of today's up and coming actresses who has already worked with the likes of Cuba Gooding Jr., Ethan Hawke and Richard Gere. She is smart, confident and best of all down to earth. We had the pleasure of meeting Stella in New York at a Hachette Filipacchi Earth Day event.
Naturally Savvy Guide, Andrea Donsky: You are truly an inspiration for younger actors and actresses as you are grounded and very spiritual. Who has had the biggest influence on your life?
Stella Maeve: Aw, thank you! I would say that my mom has had and still has the biggest influence on my life (other than myself). She's my biggest supporter and biggest fan. I tell her everything – even things she'd rather not know! And I almost always consult her before making a decision. Because as much as we all hate to admit it, mother USUALLY has my best interest at heart.
Andrea Donsky: Name 3 people you admire most and why?
Stella Maeve: My Mother for being one of the strongest people I know, because as hard as her life was, she never gave up. My Grandma who never let a man win, and ALWAYS stood her ground. My step-dad for always seeing the good in people.
Andrea Donsky: How do you incorporate natural and organic living into your lifestyle?
Stella Maeve: I try to incorporate it into my life as much as possible but I find it hard to find the right products and what’s best. Honestly your health is your most important asset and eating organic is one of the best things a person can do for themselves. Organic isn't much more expensive and they are so worth it!
Andrea Donsky: How do you maintain balance in your life?
Stella Maeve: I feel incorporating balance into your life comes with age. Each year it gets easier and easier as you ease your way into a routine. Be confident with who you are and try not to take life so seriously. Be calm and find peace within yourself.
