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.

To get people emotionally involved in something intellectual and political is important.
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 studied English literature I took 2 independent religion classes, but I wasn't a religion major really.

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 do seem to have a bit of a predilection for movies that say something transgressive.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
I liked that idea. Someone who's trying to perform herself and not succeeding.
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
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
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
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.
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
