Jake Gyllenhaal
As a producer, you have an opportunity to see the whole and bring people together.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I have a profound respect for cinematographers. That is my secret sauce. Like they are everything to me.
Jake Gyllenhaal
There are a lot of different things that are spinning and connecting when your family sees what you do.
Jake Gyllenhaal
My mom would always say this thing about writing - and I've taken it into account in a lot of things in my life - which is just, Make it shorter. Figure out what you are truly saying, whittle it down to the essence, then say that.
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
Really, contrary to popular belief, I like to have a good time and not take myself too seriously.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I think my strength is to do a take all the way through. I am definitely not someone who can do a sprint. Maybe I am not that smart, but it takes me a while to find the moment, and I like to be pushed toward it.

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.
Jake Gyllenhaal
By cool, I don't mean cool. I mean vulnerable and a mess.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I don't think I'm sharp enough to not prepare and come on set and kill it.
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
You know, it's flattering when there's a rumor that says I'm bisexual. It means I can play more kinds of roles. I'm open to whatever people want to call me. I've never really been attracted to men sexually, but I don't think I would be afraid of it if it happened.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I love artists. I love watching other people work.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Don't listen to what anybody says except the people who encourage you. If it's what you want to do and it's within yourself, then keep going and try to do it for the rest of your life.
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?
Jake Gyllenhaal
Heath [Ledger] was always somebody who I admired.He was way beyond his years as a human, in a way.
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 don't think I've made a mistake. I think I have behaved in ways that I am proud of I think I've behaved in ways I'm not.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I walk around thinking job to job, trying to not have regrets.
Jake Gyllenhaal
