The 36-year-old actress said she generally does not read about herself, reported Contactmusic.
"I try not to but sometimes I fall into the black hole. That's probably the truth. I try not to read anything but sometimes I just get pulled in. It's always when I'm looking for love and that's not where love comes from," she said.
Gyllenhaal, who has daughters Ramona, eight, and Gloria, two, with husband Peter Sarsgaard, said she feels proud when she takes to Twitter to set the record straight after feeling misunderstood in an interview.
