Maggie Gyllenhaal credits becoming a mom with making her a better actress. Despite the professional confession, she says that she is planning to take time of to spend more time at home with daughter 20-month-old daughter Ramona and less time in front of the cameras."I think having a child changes everything and has deepened everything in my life," Gyllenhaal, says. "I think it has deepened my acting."
"[Motherhood] 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."
Gyllenhaal returns to the screen in the very high-profile movie The Dark Knight which she co-stars with Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger. It took the appeal of such a strong cast to get her back to work and away from her daughter.
"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.'"
