More quotes by Maggie Gyllenhaal
A big part of being an actress specifically is feeling entitled to your artistic opinion, feeling that it means something, and being able to stand by it.

I do seem to have a bit of a predilection for movies that say something transgressive.

I think sex is very interesting for most people, but I'm interested in sex as a way of communication, I'm not that interested in the fantasy version of a sex scene.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
A play is much easier to maintain your personal life with because if you're rehearsing, you're working like from 11 to 6 or 11 to 5 and you get to have your whole morning and your whole evening. When you're doing the play, you have all day.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
I'm still trying to figure out what the right line is between myself and the people I play. Sometimes I go too far one way or too far the other.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
The real test will be having a family when I have a family you have to come home, you have to eat dinner with your kids.

Maggie Gyllenhaal
I studied English literature I took 2 independent religion classes, but I wasn't a religion major really.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Now, there are roles which are capturing a vibrant moment in an older woman's life. There was a time when those interesting roles stopped at 28. A few years ago we would have been finished by our age.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
I think most human beings, even if you're in a situation that's constricting or complicated or hard, they try to survive.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Sometimes I'll read things in the script and think, That's not how humans behave, or I don't understand how to do that role and make it seem like I'm not some kind of strange alien or on a sitcom. I don't get it, and when I feel that way, I have to listen to my instinct. My initial instinct does lead me in a direction that I can trust.
