When asked about her next project, Gyllenhaal already has some ideas.

[{"selector":"#anim-4529c924-4153-43d1-8dbd-d0b446cf07dc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1174e585-0270-485b-b594-d62d993b5e27","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d21adac5-27b4-444e-935f-6909f604b026","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

She said that she is “honing in” on something she wants to write and direct.

[{"selector":"#anim-20b5a020-6edf-4a3a-b8a4-98159edba86c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-438d6711-d125-4873-8a15-8daf27c67d0f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d51013dc-8301-4c18-838a-74f0219c7277","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, she admitted that “I do miss acting.”

[{"selector":"#anim-fbba3c63-c1a0-4c21-a0d7-97a9b7cbd119","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c0cbccf3-a1f0-421b-a069-7026cb2bd153","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-95ff983d-43da-4368-8912-d501c8b37dde","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

“But not as much as I am drawn to make another film as a director,” she added.

[{"selector":"#anim-7a70488d-966f-46a7-a3bc-dfac29faee51","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8754ec42-f8fc-4e4c-a04a-34092d9c41cb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3d800d3a-4f52-427d-a842-0113d2a78f06","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

“I’m really drawn to telling the truth,” she continued.

[{"selector":"#anim-c3316beb-4759-4dc3-9e44-6682ce208248","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d437ef81-a315-4206-a779-f2dcd7de8f8e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.45741%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f0f7eaaf-f6de-47b3-b10b-9918ff49f7f0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

She said she likes to tell stories about the truth because it’s “compelling.”
