Knocked Up Celebs

Maggie Gyllenhaal has realized how important her family is to her and would pick family over an acting job any day.

“I think having a child changes everything and has deepened everything in my life,” Gyllenhaal, mom to 20-month-old daughter Ramona, told reporters recently. “I think it has deepened my acting.”

Of motherhood, “It really does crack you open in every way,” said the actress. “I never knew that I could be so tired. I never knew that I could work so hard. I never knew that I could love so much or be so patient or be so excited by the tiniest, tiniest little thing. Everything about it has surprised me.”

“I do think that it’s really difficult to get me away from [Ramona],” she said. “It’s difficult to find a script that’s good enough for me to think, ‘Okay, I really need to do this instead of being with my daughter.’”

I think working after a baby is such a personal thing…everyone thinks differently.
