Every scene is on the table to collaborate on, to pick apart, to try a million different ways. Usually, what ends up occurring in the end is something that no single person knew would happen or had planned for.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I really enjoy taking care of people, and I was really ready to have a kid, so I didn't have to sacrifice anything that I didn't want to give up.
Gaby Hoffmann
-
I just want my kids to have the space of childhood to explore themselves as fully as possible.
Gaby Hoffmann -
My senior thesis was a documentary. By the time I graduated from college, I thought I was going to make films, and my interest in acting was there but kind of confused.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I watched a lot of television as a kid, and the suburbs to me - that was exotic! Like, a mom and dad who lived in the same house and had jobs and cooked breakfast at the same time every morning and did laundry in a washing machine and dryer? That was like, 'Woah! Who are they? How do you get to be like that?'
Gaby Hoffmann -
It's very odd that we have such an easy relationship to violence in this country, and we're still shocked by the female figure.
Gaby Hoffmann -
People are obsessed with actresses being hairless, fatless Barbie dolls.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I had a world of people raising me; it was like a little village.

Every once in a while, I would say, 'I don't want to do this anymore,' and I would go back to third grade, and after six months, I'd say, 'OK, I'm bored. Let's go make a movie.'
Gaby Hoffmann -
I thought of myself as an adult trapped in a kid's body. Had I known what adulthood was like, I would have embraced childhood a little more.
Gaby Hoffmann -
The amount of attention and sensitivity and education that we're getting in terms of specifically the transgender community is great, and certainly that's new to me. But it's not incredibly unfamiliar. I grew up in downtown New York in the '80s.
Gaby Hoffmann -
Television has filled the space for actors that really want to make good work and not just make a lot of money and be famous for making a lot of money and being famous.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I've always looked the same, and every 10 years, I'm a little bit in fashion.
Gaby Hoffmann -
People would say, 'Can I hug you?' And I would say, 'Yes, you can hug me! We're fellow New Yorkers!'

Here in America, just as we see such incredible progress happening in one state, we see another state passing absolutely disgusting and oppressive laws against the rights of all sorts of people - transgender people, gay people, women.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I was anxious before I decided to go back to acting about what I wanted to do with my life. Once I realized I was sort of interested in acting, I've been pretty lucky and had all these great parts. And I feel pretty much like, 'What will happen will happen.'
Gaby Hoffmann -
I am paid to dive deeper into my own humanity and do that with other people in collaboration... so that, in and of itself, I just feel like is the greatest privilege in the world.
Gaby Hoffmann -
Everybody I grew up with has incredible self-confidence and self-assurance. We were all loud, outspoken, wild kids and were celebrated for it.
Gaby Hoffmann -
It's so nice that there's all this new space for new, good content. It's good news for us actors, since nobody makes real independent films anymore.
Gaby Hoffmann -
I think anyone who behaves boorishly but without a good sense of humor is not as fun to watch.
Gaby Hoffmann
-
Anything that needs to be accessed is within me. Even if it's in a circumstance that seems outrageous, I can still just go back to the basic human experience and it's all there.
Gaby Hoffmann -
Oh, I'm pregnant on 'Girls.'
Gaby Hoffmann -
I think I happened to work with sort of a bunch of slightly difficult male directors when I was a kid. I've since worked with lots of male directors that I love, so I no longer see the distinction gender-wise.
Gaby Hoffmann -
If you don't have a healthy relationship with yourself, how can you with anyone else? Even if it's not healthy, I imagine it's a lot of fun. And healthy or not, I still think there can be a lot of love.
