More quotes by 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
As much as I am one for real human interaction, I also want to make a show that's entertaining and that people want to see.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I fooled around with Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams got pregnant.
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
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
In work, never have any regrets and always leave everything on the field.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I don't think I've made a mistake. I think I have behaved in ways that I am proud of I think I've behaved in ways I'm not.
Jake Gyllenhaal
It's funny to me that people find other people getting coffee really interesting, or walking their dog in the dog park.

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
I love artists. I love watching other people work.
