Jake Gyllenhaal
Heath [Ledger] would walk up to a horse and could like silence the horse. Just literally he'd be like, 'Shh. Shh.' And then he'd get on the horse. I'd be like, 'I'm going to get on you.' They'd be like, 'F - off!' I didn't really have that style.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I love movies that are saying things that people might find odd at times. I don't find them odd at all. They give me comfort.

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
I walk around thinking job to job, trying to not have regrets.
Jake Gyllenhaal
It's amazing how the world has changed because, at that time [2005], a lot of actors didn't want to play a gay role.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Do you know what fear stands for? False Evidence Appearing Real.
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
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 I work as hard as I do now, because of a lot of lessons I've learned early on.
Jake Gyllenhaal
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
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 started to realize I love study, I love the study of human behavior.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I don't have a I want to play this or that, I just don't have that. I've never been like that.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Crazy people don't sit around wondering if they're nuts.
Jake Gyllenhaal
