Maggie Gyllenhaal Interview Quotes

"I think that for a long time, there have been rules about how women can and can't be treated. As a way to achieve equality, which for hundreds of years was impossible, these rules were set up. They were very important, necessary, and helpful, but they include — and, I think, mistakenly include — what is OK to desire and want, to find sexy and to be moved by. Those rules were necessary for a while, but now they're not for a woman my age. Now, I think it's my responsibility to expose the ways in which they're no longer helpful."
