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.

Even as an actor, I think like a storyteller. My parents raised us to look at the script.
Jake Gyllenhaal
As an actor, no matter what, you're at the whim of so many other people all the time.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Everybody is an actor in one way or another. We are all performing certain things.
Jake Gyllenhaal

My mum and dad are pretty amazing chefs and they spent most of my childhood cooking really extravagant things for my sister and me.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I think my strength is to do a take all the way through. I am definitely not someone who can do a sprint. Maybe I am not that smart, but it takes me a while to find the moment, and I like to be pushed toward it.
