Quote

All my cousins steal things. Theyre just a bunch of thieves. My whole family is like that. You put something down for a second, and they steal it. You never see it again.

I'm not one of those New Yorkers who so much identifies themselves with the city that they can't imagine living anywhere else. I plan to live a lot of other places, but it is defiantly is a big part of who I am. I have a complicated relationship with it. It has changed so much, but I love it, and it's my home. I'm really glad I grew up there.

There are things to be afraid of - like extraordinary poverty and suffering beyond anything I've experienced, and climate change, despots - but there's really nothing to be afraid of when your job is an actor and you're at work, if you're in a place that is safe and full of respect and love, which we are.

I really enjoyed being on movie sets, and I had fun with the people, but I didn't really think about acting or care, or I didn't think I cared about acting.
Gaby Hoffmann

When people are struggling, thats a painful place to be in, to not know who you are and where you belong and what you desire.
Gaby Hoffmann
Image
I never made the choice to be an actor. It just sort of happened to me when I was a kid, for whatever reasons that are irrelevant in this moment.
Gaby Hoffmann
Image
I think being on a set where people arent being treated as equals, and with just a common level of decency and respect, is really uncomfortable.
Gaby Hoffmann
Image
I was never that famous, but I do think going to college and really getting away from the business and taking a true break is incredibly, incredibly important if you start acting at a young age.
Gaby Hoffmann
Image
Looking at somebody looking good is so... boring.
Gaby Hoffmann
Image
I basically took six or seven years off, but then I had another five or four of me not working at all because I was in school. It was really 13 years of me not working at all... I really couldn't even think about it.

Theres plenty of great independent films to do, but you cant support yourself making independent film as an actress.

I curate my T.V.-watching quite carefully.

Image
I know that the emotional narrative will work in the end, and I just have to play each moment honestly even if the getting from A to B doesn't totally make sense initially.

Going into my 20s, I was uncertain, trying to figure out what my relationship to acting is.
Gaby Hoffmann
Image
I always knew when I graduated from high school I’d go to college. I never thought about what I was walking away from . . . I just wanted to study literature and writing.
Gaby Hoffmann
Image
I'm interested in acting because I'm interested in exploring humanity, and we're all nuts, we're all damaged, and we're all gorgeous, so anything less than that is dishonest to me.
