I think I'm generally - fear, fear is very still, so in terms of that kind of fear - there's so many different kinds of fear, but fear is something, particularly in movies, that's interesting, because it's created by the film maker, that was created by David Fincher, that's why he's brilliant.

But you need to strive to try and communicate and try and change things in a similar way. And then people can think that's pretentious or whatever, but it's your life's work, and you've decided that. That's what they made us believe. So we have a pretty high standard, which is at times great and at times not.

Really, contrary to popular belief, I like to have a good time and not take myself too seriously.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I think I'm not in this work to not look at life as it is. I'm not in it to say, I want to wear a mask and escape, you know. I want to know what's happening in the world, and I want to have it touch me in a way that I can do something, my little part like that, and have it somehow translate.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Every journey starts with fear.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I walk around thinking job to job, trying to not have regrets.
Jake Gyllenhaal
It's amazing how the world has changed because, at that time [2005], a lot of actors didn't want to play a gay role.

Even as an actor, I think like a storyteller. My parents raised us to look at the script.
Jake Gyllenhaal
