More quotes by Jake Gyllenhaal
My experience on 'Jarhead' was life changing.
Jake Gyllenhaal
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.
Jake Gyllenhaal
When somebody's really good, they're not just thinking about their job.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I think also what's interesting is that Maggie [Gyllenhaal] knows how much the choices that I make reflect what's going on in my life. Admittedly, probably, as my sister, and as someone who loves me - like, she can't wait to see become a father.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be so much to look forward to
Jake Gyllenhaal
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
It's funny to me that people find other people getting coffee really interesting, or walking their dog in the dog park.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I promise that, one day, everything's going to be better for you.
Jake Gyllenhaal
When I walk into a screening, I'm nervous in a different way than I am as an actor. But the response is ultimately I know how I feel about it and that's what matters to me the most.
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
I think that we all have within us the potential for almost anything. If we play close attention to our lives, then we can get at it somehow.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Do you know what fear stands for? False Evidence Appearing Real.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I always find you go back to an animal it will always show you the sort of primal aspects of behavior. You always know how to respond if you choose that.
Jake Gyllenhaal
In work, never have any regrets and always leave everything on the field.
Jake Gyllenhaal
They're the darkest people I know, comedians.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I've decided as an actor the only, the power I have really is in the performance. It's the only real place I get to sort of communicate.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I think, now, younger generations do take that for granted in a lot of ways. I don't think that takes away from the struggle of identity and what that is. But the struggle for identity is everybody's struggle. No matter what it is.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Hardest emotion? They're all pretty damn hard I don't know really if there's one specifically, but I do think, I don't know what's happening or what I'm feeling when I'm actually listening.
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.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Masculinity is, nowadays and generationally, confusing. What is honor, what is protection, what is being a man? It's evolving. But I believe having an open heart - and a strong mind to protect that - is the idea.
Jake Gyllenhaal
