Jake Gyllenhaal - in his own words

“As well as that, every man goes through a period of thinking they're attracted to another guy.”

[TOoP/Bruce]

“It's funny to me that people find other people getting coffee really interesting, or walking their dog in the dog park.”

[TOoP/Bruce]

“I'm going to continue doing what I want to do. And if it means I want to go and make a big movie, if it has something to say, I will want to make it. I don't want to spend my life wasting my time. If it's a big movie, I want to do it. If it's a small movie, I want to do it.”

“We were talking about the kissing in the movie just recently. Clearly, it's pretty challenging material, but Ang said two men herding sheep was far more sexual than two men having sex on screen.”

      “If it does shed light on the idea that there's real love involved ... it's great. When two people love each other, they love each other. And people should hold on to it as hard as they can, whether it's homosexual or heterosexual.”

“I have a friend who is in Iraq right now and is doing a lot of good over there, restoring schools and helping democracy in a way. Do I agree with the administration and their intentions behind this war? I don't know; I don't think so. But I can't do anything but support wholeheartedly, and actually look up to, these soldiers in a way that I never did before I made this movie.”

[TOoP/Bruce]

“I wouldn't call it a western, ... I would call it a love story that happens to take place in the West.”

[TOoP/Bruce]

“Crazy people don't sit around wondering if they're nuts.”
