Jake gyllenhaal

I heard about the movie business before I even knew what it was. So I surround myself now with people who are like, 'Can we not talk about movies for an hour?'

I did a lot of background and research on 'End Of Watch,' and I definitely used certain skills that I learned.

Theater has given me a different perspective on the way I approach films.

Even as an actor, I think like a storyteller. My parents raised us to look at the script.

I am inherently a little brother - that's just my nature. It has to do with my sister being very strong and wanting to protect me. It's the natural order of things.

'Brokeback Mountain' takes all your conceptions of America, and the Western, and cowboys, and sexuality, and love, and it stirs them all up.

I love movies that are saying things that people might find odd at times. I don't find them odd at all. They give me comfort.

I like the idea of the adventurer's spirit. I think that is very much what a man searches for, in a certain way.

Ask yourself why a red carpet is red. It could be any colour.

Do I take care of my body and take conditioning seriously? Yes.
