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
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
When somebody's really good, they're not just thinking about their job.
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
I have an overactive brain, and as a result of that, I can really get in my own mind. So I like to try and exercise it to the point of exhaustion.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I'm superstitious a little bit.
Jake Gyllenhaal
As a producer, you have an opportunity to see the whole and bring people together.
Jake Gyllenhaal
You can’t just lump things into two categories. Things aren’t that simple.
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
Everybody is an actor in one way or another. We are all performing certain things.
Jake Gyllenhaal

Jake Gyllenhaal
I'm a very political person, and I make political choices in my movies.
