Maggie Gyllenhaal

I think Secretary's funny, it is about sex, and there's a lot of sex in it, sex is the key, but you're talking about a lot of other complicated things.

I feel there is no shortage of real interesting women's roles. But I found them and did all of them just now.

I want to have some effect on the way the world works in whatever way I can, and I also want to have the power to help get the movies that I think are important made.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

The first time with artistic endeavors is, if it's working, it was your idea, and if it's not, it's somebody else's idea.

I knew I wanted to be an actress as soon as I popped out.
