More From Maggie Gyllenhaal

I'm even stunned at some of the majors you can get in college these days. like you can major in the mating habits of the australian rabbit bat, major in leisure studies... okay, get a journalism major. okay, education major, journalism major. right. philosophy major, right. archeology major. i don't know, whatever it is. major in ballroom dance, of course. it doesn't replace work. how about a major in film studies? how about a major in black studies? how about a major in women studies? how about a major in home ec? oops, sorry! no such thing.

I studied english literature in the honors program, which means that you had to take courses in various centuries. you had to start with old english, middle english, and work your way toward the modern. i figured if i did that it would force me to read some of the things i might not read on my own.

I've taken every writing class i've had available. i took classes in high school, and i took english and writing classes in community college, but i dropped out of college. i also attended a local writing workshop two years ago.

I've noticed a fascinating phenomenon in my twenty-five years of teaching - that schools and schooling are increasingly irrelevant to the great enterprises of the planet. no one believes anymore that scientists are trained in science classes or politicians in civics classes or poets in english classes. the truth is that schools don't really teach anything except how to obey orders.
Believe Teaching School
Literature cannot develop between the categories "permitted"—"not permitted"—"this you can and that you can't." literature that is not the air of its contemporary society, that dares not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangers, such literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a facade. such literature loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as waste paper instead of being read. -letter to the fourth national congress of soviet writers

I was in acting classes from the age of 9, dance classes, music classes - my mom put a lot of energy and attention into me, so no matter what happened in my life, i always had this basis of discipline. so i really worked hard for everything i had from a very early age.

Success comes from taking the initiative and following up or persisting.

I do think the smaller-scale studio works have that incredible love of data crunching, whereas i would say the large-scale earthworks tend to be much more stripped-down. with the mappings, as connected as they are to a much more analytical idea, what's a map? and can i make a map about time? i think the first time was hurricane sandy, the flood plane; a moment in time, but indelibly marked on any of us who were in the city. mapping time is something that i'm really interested in.
