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
I really want my kids to feel, is that they can be themselves in the world.
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
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 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
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
People write things in newspapers about me that aren't true - or that are true. They take pictures of my kids on the way to school. I get a little bit inured to it in a way that I think most people probably aren't.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
There was something to me that was really compelling about that woman, already knowing she couldn't get pregnant. When I made that movie I was maybe 24, and to be 24 and already know you can't get pregnant, that was really interesting to me.
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
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
Some people would say you need what you need to work, but 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
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
You're not going to do good work if you're not choosing something because it inspires you.
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
Acting is really important to me, so I think it would be really hard for me to do something I didn't believe in.
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
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 said to Ramona [my daughter] once ... you should never look yourself up on the Internet. It's something I've learned.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
A lot of actresses are doing incredible work right now, playing real women, complicated women. I don't feel despairing at all. And I'm more looking with hope for something fascinating.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
I do seem to have a bit of a predilection for movies that say something transgressive.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
