Jake Gyllenhaal Biography

On acting:

"Being a star doesn't last. That's not what life should be about. It's a complete illusion that really has nothing to do with you. For me, finding out about life is the most important thing."

"I admire actors and artists who devote just as much time to their life as they do to their work."

On himself:

"In a perfect world, I would love to do one play for every three movies."

"Coming from a family where my mom is a writer, I just respond to how people speak."

"You know, it's flattering when there's a rumour that says I'm bisexual. It means I can play more kinds of roles. I'm open to whatever people want to call me. I've never really been attracted to men sexually, but I don't think I would be afraid of it if it happened."
