More quotes by 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
What world am I living in?' Aren't movies made to have something to say? Why make a movie if you don't have something to say? What are you doing it for? Are you doing it because you want to make a lot of money?
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
I'm a very political person, and I make political choices in my movies.

You know, it's flattering when there's a rumor that says I'm bisexual. It means I can play more kinds of roles. I'm open to whatever people want to call me. I've never really been attracted to men sexually, but I don't think I would be afraid of it if it happened.
Jake Gyllenhaal
When I walk into a screening, I'm nervous in a different way than I am as an actor. But the response is ultimately I know how I feel about it and that's what matters to me the most.
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.
Jake Gyllenhaal
My mum raised us on classic movies and a lot of musical theatre.
Jake Gyllenhaal
As a producer, you have an opportunity to see the whole and bring people together.
Jake Gyllenhaal
They're the darkest people I know, comedians.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Crazy people don't sit around wondering if they're nuts.
Jake Gyllenhaal
By cool, I don't mean cool. I mean vulnerable and a mess.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I don't think I'm sharp enough to not prepare and come on set and kill it.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I love artists. I love watching other people work.
Jake Gyllenhaal
When somebody's really good, they're not just thinking about their job.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Everybody is an actor in one way or another. We are all performing certain things.
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 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 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
