Jake Gyllenhaal
I think I work as hard as I do now, because of a lot of lessons I've learned early on.
Jake Gyllenhaal
By cool, I don't mean cool. I mean vulnerable and a mess.
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
Heath [Ledger] would walk up to a horse and could like silence the horse. Just literally he'd be like, 'Shh. Shh.' And then he'd get on the horse. I'd be like, 'I'm going to get on you.' They'd be like, 'F - off!' I didn't really have that style.

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

Jake Gyllenhaal
Do you know what fear stands for? False Evidence Appearing Real.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I'm superstitious a little bit.
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 I find tactile things, you know. Just the feeling of blood itself is enough for me. If you, even if it's not real blood. I mean that's enough, like sometimes there are very simple things that are enough.
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
I'm a harsh critic, you know? I am.
Jake Gyllenhaal
You can’t just lump things into two categories. Things aren’t that simple.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I love movies that are saying things that people might find odd at times. I don't find them odd at all. They give me comfort.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Being a star doesn't last. That's not what life should be about. It's a complete illusion that really has nothing to do with you. For me, finding out about life is the most important thing.
Jake Gyllenhaal
When I was younger, I did work with coach. I went to this place called Actors Space in the Valley. I was pretty young, and we were doing acting and improvisation. But no, no I didn't go to RADA, I didn't do that. But I do now work with an acting coach, primarily for the initial intellectual connection to the material.
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 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
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
