The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money.

More quotes by Gaby Hoffmann
I curate my T.V.-watching quite carefully.
Gaby Hoffmann
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
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.
Gaby Hoffmann
I did act as a kid, but I quit when I was seventeen.
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
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.
Gaby Hoffmann
I got into cooking and I went and cooked in Italy. I became a doula for a while. I built stone walls one summer, and I read a lot, and I swam a lot, and I spent a lot of time thinking.
Gaby Hoffmann
Going into my 20s, I was uncertain, trying to figure out what my relationship to acting is.
Gaby Hoffmann
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
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.
Gaby Hoffmann
Looking at somebody looking good is so... boring.
Gaby Hoffmann
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
I don't think there is anybody who's watching television right now who wants to see something because it looks good rather than feel something because it feels right or familiar or new or whatever.
Gaby Hoffmann
God, the world is so f - ked up, and we all have to do something about it.
Gaby Hoffmann
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.
Gaby Hoffmann
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.
Gaby Hoffmann
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
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
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.
Gaby Hoffmann
Theres plenty of great independent films to do, but you cant support yourself making independent film as an actress.
Gaby Hoffmann
