Maggie Gyllenhaal is leaving New York because, according to her, the paparazzi won't leave her alone.
It's a constant effort. When we moved out of the city, to Brooklyn, that helped a lot. Still, there will be paparazzi, but I just know. I will never take Ramona into SoHo, I will never ever take her into the West Village, because they'll pounce on her. We'll probably ultimately just move to the country.
Then you come into the city, you know what to expect, there'll be some paparazzi. I'll go to an event, I'll get dressed up, they can take my picture there [and] just have my family life be separate.
That's kind of funny because, in all my looking around for paparazzi pictures, I almost never see Maggie Gyllenhaal and her kid. Maybe once a month. Are they taking the pictures and just not putting them out there? Or is Maggie exaggerating the hounding because she desperately wants us to think she's important? And what's she going to do after she moves out to the country and can't find any academics to hang out with? She's going to be lonely with only people of normal brain power around. Maybe she'll go insane and kill herself! Nah...I ain't that lucky.
