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.

More quotes by Jake Gyllenhaal
Often times it's really hard for me to articulate why I connect to something.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Even as an actor, I think like a storyteller. My parents raised us to look at the script.
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 walk around thinking job to job, trying to not have regrets.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I admire actors and artists who devote just as much time to their life as they do to their work.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Sometimes what I actually love to do is go to a farm and get fresh milk or watch a pig get slaughtered.

Every journey starts with fear.
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'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
I have a mentor. I have... guides. I have a lot of guides. Not a lot, but people whose opinions I really respect and who I will turn to.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I think, now, younger generations do take that for granted in a lot of ways. I don't think that takes away from the struggle of identity and what that is. But the struggle for identity is everybody's struggle. No matter what it is.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I think I find tactile things, you know. Just the feeling of blood itself is enough for me. If you, even if it's not real blood. I mean that's enough, like sometimes there are very simple things that are enough.
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 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
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 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
They're the darkest people I know, comedians.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be so much to look forward to
