More quotes by 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.
