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.

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 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
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 fooled around with Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams got pregnant.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I have a mentor. I have... guides. I have a lot of guides. Not a lot, but people whose opinions I really respect and who I will turn to.
Jake Gyllenhaal
It's daunting trying to do any service as an American to such a beautiful, fluid speech pattern that you [British] all have. We are just barbarians in comparison.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I admire actors and artists who devote just as much time to their life as they do to their work.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Sometimes what I actually love to do is go to a farm and get fresh milk or watch a pig get slaughtered.
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
