More quotes by Maggie Gyllenhaal
I really want my kids to feel, is that they can be themselves in the world.
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
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
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.

I liked that idea. Someone who's trying to perform herself and not succeeding.
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
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
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 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
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
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.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
I studied English literature I took 2 independent religion classes, but I wasn't a religion major really.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Most people are interested in seeing 27-year-old women who are in movies somehow connected to sex. It's interesting to everyone. Especially little movies that are having trouble getting made, there's always sex.
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 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
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
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
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
