MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL had to limp down the red carpet at Monday’s THE DARK KNIGHTpremiere, after breaking her toe.

The actress, who stars opposite Christian Baleand the late Heath Ledger in the new Batman movie, suffered the fracture after whacking her foot against some furniture at home.

She blames the accident on her nerves ahead of the film’s big release, telling TV talk show host David Letterman on Wednesday, “I’m like this indie actress, and I have this big movie, and all of a sudden I have a broken toe. I think it was because I was nervous about all this stuff. This big, huge movie all of a sudden, and I just walked across the room and I broke my toe.”

But the star reveals she was too stunned to feel any pain from the break, musing: “I guess it hurt. My boyfriend (actor Peter Sarsgaard) was impressed with how broken it was.”

Maggie Gyllenhaal says motherhood made her a better actress, but now she wants to spend more time at home than in front of the cameras.

“I think having a child changes everything and has deepened everything in my life,” Gyllenhaal, mom to 20-month-old daughter Ramona, told reporters recently. “I think it has deepened my acting.”

Of motherhood, “It 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.”

It took the challenge of a unique and high-profile movie The Dark Knight, in which Gyllenhaal co-stars with Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger, to get her back to work.

In the film, she plays Rachel Dawes, Batman’s love interest, taking over the role from Katie Holmes, who played the part in the previous film.

“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.’”

Known for her edgy performances, Gyllenhaal filmed Farlanders for director Sam Mendes last spring, “but mostly I’ve been with her,” she says. “Some people have asked me whether I’ll choose things that … have a more sort of child-appropriate content, and I don’t think so. I think I’ll choose what’s interesting to me.”

Gyllenhaal says she receives tremendous support balancing parenthood and career from fiancé, Peter Sarsgaard. “We share absolutely equally,” she explained, and added that her brother Jake Gyllenhaal is “a great uncle.”
