I've become obsessed with learning other languages in movies, because I was like, since I was like, but I learned how to box so why don't I just learn another language for a movie?

I think that the idea of boundaries is being challenged everywhere. And I think our fascination with sci-fi is that it is a boundary-less world where we can kind of create the reality that we believe to be as opposed to the reality that is. It is about the beyond and the unknown in a different way than pretty much any type of storytelling is.
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
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 have a profound respect for cinematographers. That is my secret sauce. Like they are everything to me.
Jake Gyllenhaal
In a perfect world, I would love to do one play for every three movies.
Jake Gyllenhaal
By cool, I don't mean cool. I mean vulnerable and a mess.
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
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 admire actors and artists who devote just as much time to their life as they do to their work.
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
'Brokeback Mountain' takes all your conceptions of America, and the Western, and cowboys, and sexuality, and love, and it stirs them all up.
Jake Gyllenhaal
