More quotes by Jake Gyllenhaal
What made me most courageous was that I realized I had to try to let go of that stereotype I had in my mind, that bit of homophobia, and try for a second to be vulnerable and sensitive. It was f**kin' hard, man. I succeeded only for milliseconds.
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've never had sex with boxers on and it's an odd thing to watch actors do. That's not saying I haven't tried... I just don't recommend it!
Jake Gyllenhaal
As a producer, you have an opportunity to see the whole and bring people together.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Often times it's really hard for me to articulate why I connect to something.
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
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
As an actor, no matter what, you're at the whim of so many other people all the time.
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
Chris Cooper once told me to never have any regrets. After Chris said that to me, I walk into every scene thinking, 'exhaust every possibility.' Once you get to a certain place, it's like you just deliver everything you've got. Don't have any regrets. It pops up in my mind over and over and over again.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Even as an actor, I think like a storyteller. My parents raised us to look at the script.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I'm a harsh critic, you know? I am.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I have a profound respect for cinematographers. That is my secret sauce. Like they are everything to me.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Being a star doesn't last. That's not what life should be about. It's a complete illusion that really has nothing to do with you. For me, finding out about life is the most important thing.
Jake Gyllenhaal
In a perfect world, I would love to do one play for every three movies.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I don't think I'm sharp enough to not prepare and come on set and kill it.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Crazy people don't sit around wondering if they're nuts.
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.
