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?

Jake Gyllenhaal 199 quotes

Dad, I may not be the best, b...

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.

I think I work as hard as I d...

I think I work as hard as I do now, because of a lot of lessons I've learned early on.

Jake Gyllenhaal 199 quotes

The amount of preparation I s...

The amount of preparation I saw from someone like [David] Fincher, and how aware he is of everybody else's job on the set, and how much respect he has for every aspect of the film, and every aspect of the frame - that's the type of actor I am now; it's not the type of actor I was then. But without understanding his process, and then coming to learn it later on, I would never be the actor I am now.

Jake Gyllenhaal 199 quotes

We all develop relationships ...

We all develop relationships with each other based on our first relationships, and then how we experience them. But inevitably they are echoes of earlier on. In my belief.

Jake Gyllenhaal 199 quotes

I walk around thinking job to...

I walk around thinking job to job, trying to not have regrets.

Jake Gyllenhaal 199 quotes

What made me most courageous ...

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 199 quotes

Other people's belief changes...

Other people's belief changes you. We all have insecurity, and uncertainty, and to have that glow cast over you by somebody that you respect, makes a gigantic difference.

Jake Gyllenhaal 199 quotes

I don't think I had any idea ...

I don't think I had any idea at the time how to work with someone as masterful as he is. And I don't think at the time I really understood what was happening. I think I was in a space where I was like: there are all these things. I was shooting all these takes with David, and I was just confused, as a person, and as an actor feeling a little too big for my britches and that this thing was happening and then also not having enough skill yet, and technique to know exactly where I was, and know about the character.

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 199 quotes

I have always had a deep beli...

I have always had a deep belief that every movie, every artistic expression, is political. Don't be fooled. Even ones that we wouldn't consider overtly political are political. When we spend time doing anything, whether it's distraction or whether it's something that we have to face, it is always political. That's my belief.

Jake Gyllenhaal 199 quotes

Sometimes you need an anchor,...

Sometimes you need an anchor, whatever it might be. You need a space to connect. So often you get into a way of doing things.

Jake Gyllenhaal 199 quotes

I had been brought up in an elementary school where, my first few grades, I remember being specifically told that my teachers were gay. I was just that age and that was just how it was, and my parents were very... You know, that's how I was raised. Like super-progressive.

Jake Gyllenhaal 199 quotes

I think, now, younger generat...

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 199 quotes

I think, when someone say, "W...

I think, when someone say, "When did you feel like an actor?" it's those moments when I feel like, "I'm an actor, wow." That's an extraordinary moment for me. So it's not like I walk around going, "I'm an actor."

Jake Gyllenhaal 199 quotes

Some movies you fall a step b...

Some movies you fall a step behind, and some you stay in the same place, make the same choices. And then sometimes there are people who know more than you but show you, and that's the maximum you can hope for - doing that with someone who says, 'I like you for what you are, and I want you to be in my picture.'

I grew up in a family where many of our close friends were gay couples. As well as that, every man goes through a period of thinking they're attracted to another guy.

When I was young, before school, my father would wake me up and we would go running together. A love of being physical, being active and being outside was something he instilled in me.

Jake Gyllenhaal 199 quotes

One role blends into the next role. I mean, there's strange idiosyncrasies from roles that I play that I picked up that will never go away.

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.
