You're invited to tons of parties, and you'll wear these shoes and that dress, and it can be enticing, but I think it also sucks you dry. If you do it a little, sure, it's fun, but too much and you start to lose your footing.

More quotes by 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 was thinking about how people were upset about the information that came out from Snowden about the NSA - many people were upset, including myself. But I was kind of surprised by how little we did about it - how little fighting we did.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Honestly, I'm always aware of the political implications of the movies that I make.
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.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
You have a right to your opinion about the work that you're doing. An artist is as equally important as the director. If you believe that, you can work in any circumstances.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Having an education is invaluable.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
I remember people saying, Believe me, everything in your life is going to change... And I thought, Why? That's such a bourgeois way of thinking. And then you have a child and yes, everything changes. It affects the way we live, what we do, and where we go - everything. And I wouldn't have in any other way.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
To get people emotionally involved in something intellectual and political is important.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
I feel there is no shortage of real interesting women's roles. But I found them and did all of them just now.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Being a mother has absolutely forced me. You have to write things down and have systems for all of it. And then you set up systems and you realize they don't work.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
You're not going to do good work if you're not choosing something because it inspires you.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
I would like to have a home in the country that I could go to. First in this country and the other in the Mediterranean.
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 studied English literature I took 2 independent religion classes, but I wasn't a religion major really.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
If you're going to play a hooker in a movie, the movie has to have the perspective, of course, that it isn't such a great thing. Probably the only way to really play a hooker well is to believe you're doing something that's good. But at the same time, the movie can't have that point of view.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
I don't think there are that many parts I could say unequivocally I would not play that, but there's lots of parts I read and I think, I don't really want to do that. I don't really think that's how women act.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
I don't see that many movies lately that are actually about something, that are trying to challenge something about the way that people interact.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
I need very little to work, because I learned how to make movies on tiny movies. It's all kind of easy for me.
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 think most human beings, even if you're in a situation that's constricting or complicated or hard, they try to survive.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
