Jake Gyllenhaal
When somebody's really good, they're not just thinking about their job.
Jake Gyllenhaal
There are standards. I like to be prepared, I guess I should say - that type of pressure of, All right, now you go with abandon, you know. Now when you're in it, you let go of all the things - that's what happens when you're onstage.
Jake Gyllenhaal
