Zitat des Tages von Jake Gyllenhaal:
If you're going to spend seven months of your life - for me seven months, for Roland Emmerich, 3, 4, 5 years of his life - doing something, I think you have to have something to say.
Crazy people don't sit around wondering if they're nuts.
Chris Cooper once told me to never have any regrets. After Chris said that to me, I walk into every scene thinking, 'exhaust every possibility.' Once you get to a certain place, it's like you just deliver everything you've got. Don't have any regrets. It pops up in my mind over and over and over again.
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.
In work, never have any regrets and always leave everything on the field.
Even as an actor, I think like a storyteller. My parents raised us to look at the script.
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.
It's funny to me that people find other people getting coffee really interesting, or walking their dog in the dog park.
Every man goes through a period of thinking they're attracted to another guy.
Don't listen to what anybody says except the people who encourage you. If it's what you want to do and it's within yourself, then keep going and try to do it for the rest of your life.
I'm a harsh critic, you know? I am.
I don't think I'm sharp enough to not prepare and come on set and kill it.
My mum and dad are pretty amazing chefs and they spent most of my childhood cooking really extravagant things for my sister and me.
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.
I'm like, '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?
As much as I am one for real human interaction, I also want to make a show that's entertaining and that people want to see.
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.
I hope I'm a spiritual person. I'm trying to be a spiritual person.
I grew up on movie sets, so it was something I just found familiar. When I was growing up also, in high school, I would audition for things and my parents let me audition for things - with the thought that I wouldn't get them. And then I would get them... sometimes, and it would surprise them.
I think as an actor you have to be open to your emotions - that's how you tap into other characters. Besides, by being so open I've come to terms with how screwed I am!
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.
I think you hear a lot of people say 'I support the troops' and all of that, but I really feel deeply that I do.
I like the idea of the adventurer's spirit. I think that is very much what a man searches for, in a certain way.
I would really love to direct one day. I think there are certain actors who love the character and the performance and that's all they want to be a part of.
I don't think you can approach any piece of art with boundaries or rules. I think respect is a very important thing, but I also think what we discover along the way is really important.
I did a lot of background and research on 'End Of Watch,' and I definitely used certain skills that I learned.
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.
Every journey starts with fear.
I liken movies to playing a piano: Sometimes you're playing the chords and different notes with unresolved cadences and playing all major chords that are all over the place, and you're enjoying yourself with a great, simple melody.
Theater has given me a different perspective on the way I approach films.
I think it's important for every man to find the right woman and every woman to find the right man.
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.
