I started to realize I love study, I love the study of human behavior.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I've never had sex with boxers on and it's an odd thing to watch actors do. That's not saying I haven't tried... I just don't recommend it!
Jake Gyllenhaal
I have a profound respect for cinematographers. That is my secret sauce. Like they are everything to me.
