More quotes by Jake Gyllenhaal
But you need to strive to try and communicate and try and change things in a similar way. And then people can think that's pretentious or whatever, but it's your life's work, and you've decided that. That's what they made us believe. So we have a pretty high standard, which is at times great and at times not.
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
Jake Gyllenhaal
Not to say that you should be constantly trying to change the world, but I think it's important to know that whatever we do has an implication and has an effect, and because of that it is political.

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 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.

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
It's daunting trying to do any service as an American to such a beautiful, fluid speech pattern that you [British] all have. We are just barbarians in comparison.
Jake Gyllenhaal
As an actor, no matter what, you're at the whim of so many other people all the time.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Crazy people don't sit around wondering if they're nuts.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Do you know what fear stands for? False Evidence Appearing Real.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I admire actors and artists who devote just as much time to their life as they do to their work.
Jake Gyllenhaal
I fooled around with Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams got pregnant.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Sometimes what I actually love to do is go to a farm and get fresh milk or watch a pig get slaughtered.
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
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 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
The best thing that I got was rehearsing with my father. It was always about the process of figuring things out, and trying something new, and having another take on something and keeping it alive.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Hardest emotion? They're all pretty damn hard I don't know really if there's one specifically, but I do think, I don't know what's happening or what I'm feeling when I'm actually listening.
Jake Gyllenhaal
There are a lot of different things that are spinning and connecting when your family sees what you do.
Jake Gyllenhaal
What world am I living in?' Aren't movies made to have something to say? Why make a movie if you don't have something to say? What are you doing it for? Are you doing it because you want to make a lot of money?
