Selected quotes by Gaby Hoffmann
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.
The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money.

When people are struggling, that's a painful place to be in, to not know who you are and where you belong and what you desire.

I've been told by many people that if I had a Twitter account, I would be making five hundred thousand dollars more a year.
It's funny because I grew up with the T.V. on 24 hours a day. And the more money I made, the more T.V.s we had.
People are obsessed with actresses being hairless, fatless Barbie dolls.
There are really very few roles for women in films in which you can also make a living.
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.
I started missing acting when I was in school, and I realized after being in the business after however many years that I was really interested in film.
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.
I curate my T.V.-watching quite carefully.
I was watching 'Pulp Fiction' when we were making 'Now and Then'. I didn't care about 'Now and Then,' you know?
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.
