Jake Gyllenhaal

I love 'Training Day' - that's a great movie.

Every journey starts with fear.

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.

Although I write to entertain, and try to keep my work free of didacticism, I do have a rather passionate belief in our need to be connected to - and to learn from - history.

I give everyone upmost respect, and when people feel that, you end up getting the most out of your interaction with them. That connectivity is really important in my life.

I'm interested in the psychological exploration of human nature, and it just happens to come in the form of film-making.
