More quotes by Jake Gyllenhaal
Hardest emotion? They're all pretty damn hard I don't know really if there's one specifically, but I do think, I don't know what's happening or what I'm feeling when I'm actually listening.
Jake Gyllenhaal
But you need to strive to try and communicate and try and change things in a similar way. And then people can think that's pretentious or whatever, but it's your life's work, and you've decided that. That's what they made us believe. So we have a pretty high standard, which is at times great and at times not.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I think my family love each other so much and expect so much from each other, and I think we expect a type of honesty in the work that we all do.
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 walk around thinking job to job, trying to not have regrets.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I admire actors and artists who devote just as much time to their life as they do to their work.
Jake Gyllenhaal
By cool, I don't mean cool. I mean vulnerable and a mess.

Even as an actor, I think like a storyteller. My parents raised us to look at the script.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Dad, I may not be the best, but I come to believe that I got it in me to be somebody in this world. And it's not because I'm so different from you either. It's because I'm the same. I mean, I can be just as hard-headed, and just as tough. I only hope I can be as good a man as you.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I'm superstitious a little bit.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I like the conscious manipulation that a great director can have. When you're both complicit in the manipulation of an emotion.
Jake Gyllenhaal
There are a lot of different things that are spinning and connecting when your family sees what you do.
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
People say to me, well What's the character you really want to play? And I go, I don't know.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Really, contrary to popular belief, I like to have a good time and not take myself too seriously.
Jake Gyllenhaal
When I was 19, I thought [Brokeback Mountain] was going to be the best movie ever made. And everyone was going to see it and it was just going to be incredible. And then nobody saw it and it didn't get bought at Sundance. And it was a really great experience. Humbling. And then it's since found its way.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Every journey starts with fear.
Jake Gyllenhaal
The best thing that I got was rehearsing with my father. It was always about the process of figuring things out, and trying something new, and having another take on something and keeping it alive.
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 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.
