More quotes by 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
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
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
I feel there is no shortage of real interesting women's roles. But I found them and did all of them just now.
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 do seem to have a bit of a predilection for movies that say something transgressive.
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 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 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
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
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
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
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
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
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 liked that idea. Someone who's trying to perform herself and not succeeding.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Having an education is invaluable.
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
Now, there are roles which are capturing a vibrant moment in an older woman's life. There was a time when those interesting roles stopped at 28. A few years ago we would have been finished by our age.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
