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
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
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 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.

Honestly, I'm always aware of the political implications of the movies that I make.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
I'm pretty good at indulging myself. I'm about to go travel for a week. I like to get massaged, go into steam rooms. I take care of myself.
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 think most human beings, even if you're in a situation that's constricting or complicated or hard, they try to survive.
