They're the darkest people I know, comedians.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I didn't know many classes where I could try and relate the thing that I really loved and wanted to do into an intellectual idea.
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.

I admire actors and artists who devote just as much time to their life as they do to their work.
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'm a harsh critic, you know? I am.
Jake Gyllenhaal
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 movies that are saying things that people might find odd at times. I don't find them odd at all. They give me comfort.
Jake Gyllenhaal
One of the things that I'm so proud of [about] that movie [Brokeback Mountain], was to see, within the past basically 10 years, how much has changed. When the Supreme Court [issued a ruling] just a little while ago, I felt like we had been part, a little part and parcel of that movement.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Crazy people don't sit around wondering if they're nuts.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I've become obsessed with learning other languages in movies, because I was like, since I was like, but I learned how to box so why don't I just learn another language for a movie?
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
My mom would always say this thing about writing - and I've taken it into account in a lot of things in my life - which is just, Make it shorter. Figure out what you are truly saying, whittle it down to the essence, then say that.
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 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
I always find you go back to an animal it will always show you the sort of primal aspects of behavior. You always know how to respond if you choose that.
Jake Gyllenhaal
People say to me, well What's the character you really want to play? And I go, I don't know.
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 funny to me that people find other people getting coffee really interesting, or walking their dog in the dog park.
