More quotes by 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
Do you know what fear stands for? False Evidence Appearing Real.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Crazy people don't sit around wondering if they're nuts.
Jake Gyllenhaal
What world am I living in?' Aren't movies made to have something to say? Why make a movie if you don't have something to say? What are you doing it for? Are you doing it because you want to make a lot of money?

One of the things that I'm so proud of [about] that movie [Brokeback Mountain], was to see, within the past basically 10 years, how much has changed. When the Supreme Court [issued a ruling] just a little while ago, I felt like we had been part, a little part and parcel of that movement.
Jake Gyllenhaal

Jake Gyllenhaal
Everybody is an actor in one way or another. We are all performing certain things.
Jake Gyllenhaal
My mum and dad are pretty amazing chefs and they spent most of my childhood cooking really extravagant things for my sister and me.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I've become obsessed with learning other languages in movies, because I was like, since I was like, but I learned how to box so why don't I just learn another language for a movie?
Jake Gyllenhaal
It's funny to me that people find other people getting coffee really interesting, or walking their dog in the dog park.
Jake Gyllenhaal
There are a lot of different things that are spinning and connecting when your family sees what you do.
Jake Gyllenhaal
People say to me, well What's the character you really want to play? And I go, I don't know.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I like the conscious manipulation that a great director can have. When you're both complicit in the manipulation of an emotion.
Jake Gyllenhaal
It's one of the most beautiful scripts [Brokeback Mountain] I've ever read, and it was Ang Lee, and at the time Heath [Ledger] was a friend of mine - before we even shot the movie - and always sort of alluring to me.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Dad, I may not be the best, but I come to believe that I got it in me to be somebody in this world. And it's not because I'm so different from you either. It's because I'm the same. I mean, I can be just as hard-headed, and just as tough. I only hope I can be as good a man as you.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I think you hear a lot of people say 'I support the troops' and all of that, but I really feel deeply that I do.
Jake Gyllenhaal
