We all got driven out of Manhattan. It was a very conducive place for artists when I was growing up, and now it's definitely not. The city has been completely taken over by the rich.
Gaby Hoffmann -
There's something extremely bizarre about the way people consume media now.

-
The biggest issue that we have to contend with is campaign finance reform.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I don't think it should be allowed for people to start working at a young age and not take the time to just be living as themselves in the real world, especially now in this new age of new media and the obsession with celebrity. I think it's a real crime.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I had a world of people who were raising me; it was like a little village.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I was never as famous as all these kids. There was no social media. We weren't celebrity-obsessed as a culture. I feel like these kids are under a crazy microscope; they're basically brands. And they eventually implode and act out. They need a break, and they're not getting one.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I certainly don't have any boundaries myself, but I think I'm very aware of other people's.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I always knew when I graduated from high school, I'd go to college. I never thought about what I was walking away from... I just wanted to study literature and writing.
Gaby Hoffmann
-
I think that anybody coming out and saying, 'This is who I am, and let me show it to you...' is good for the world.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I loved being on the set of 'Field of Dreams' because I hung out with the baseball players all day, played cards, flirted with Ray Liotta, and had a ball.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I really, really loved making 'This Is My Life' and 'Now and Then.'
Gaby Hoffmann -
My mother certainly never altered the topics of her conversation based on children being present.
Gaby Hoffmann -
If you needed to borrow a cup of sugar, you knocked on your neighbour's door.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I grew up with artists and drag queens. These were just my neighbors and friends and the people who are raising me.
Gaby Hoffmann
-
Suburbia, to me, was the most fantastical, unusual place. I thought it was Disneyland.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I wanted to live in the suburbs and have a white picket fence and my own bedroom. And a staircase - I thought having a staircase meant that you were a normal family. I thought somehow if you could transplant us to the suburbs, we would become a normal family. But in retrospect, I'm so grateful I grew up in the Chelsea.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I was obsessed with the idea of going to college. And I took many years off after that, so I sort of missed the weird, crazy transition that was what making movies was in the nineties to what's happening now.
Gaby Hoffmann -
The sleeplessness is proven; it eradicates your memory.
Gaby Hoffmann -
My mom could be pretty strict.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I didn't intend to introduce food so early, but she became very interested at about 5 months, and I just gave her whatever sort of nutrient-rich food I had. Her first food was smoked trout.

I don't watch a lot of T.V. I only watch things via Netflix, so I only watch the things that I'm choosing to watch.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I'd started acting as a child. But I wanted to see if it was something my true personality was interested in. I stepped away from offers when I took five years off to go to college. I've only really just decided to whole-heartedly embrace acting.
Gaby Hoffmann -
When I was a kid, I wasn't making my choices based on anything other than 'Did I want to work that day?' or 'Did being in school sound more fun?' And I don't remember ever reading a script and thinking, 'Is this going to be a fun part to play?'
Gaby Hoffmann -
If somebody smiles at me on the street, I'm like, 'Hi, have a nice day!'
