More quotes by Jake Gyllenhaal
I think that we all have within us the potential for almost anything. If we play close attention to our lives, then we can get at it somehow.
Jake Gyllenhaal
What made me most courageous was that I realized I had to try to let go of that stereotype I had in my mind, that bit of homophobia, and try for a second to be vulnerable and sensitive. It was f**kin' hard, man. I succeeded only for milliseconds.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I admire actors and artists who devote just as much time to their life as they do to their work.
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
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
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
As an actor, no matter what, you're at the whim of so many other people all the time.
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.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Everybody is an actor in one way or another. We are all performing certain things.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I don't think I'm sharp enough to not prepare and come on set and kill it.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Uta Hagen would say, there's the representational actor and the presentational actor.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I have a profound respect for cinematographers. That is my secret sauce. Like they are everything to me.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I started to realize I love study, I love the study of human behavior.
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
I fooled around with Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams got pregnant.
Jake Gyllenhaal
My mum raised us on classic movies and a lot of musical theatre.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Really, contrary to popular belief, I like to have a good time and not take myself too seriously.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I'm a very political person, and I make political choices in my movies.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I've decided as an actor the only, the power I have really is in the performance. It's the only real place I get to sort of communicate.
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.
