 Jake Gyllenhaal Quotation"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." (1999, Raygun) On the one role that got away: "I'd have to say Ewan McGregor's part in Movie Title: Moulin Rouge!. It was soooo close. I sang and everything. I went through months of auditions. It was between me, Heath Ledger and Ewan. I think it came down to age and where people were in their careers. I was the youngest and the least known. I would hope it didn't have anything to do with talent. Maybe it did". "I admire actors and artists who devote just as much time to their life as they do to their work." "In a perfect world, I would love to do one play for every three movies." "The truth is most of the films that make a lot of money no one remembers, and I'm not interested in making films that no one remembers." "Coming from a family where my mom is a writer, I just respond to how people speak." "First, it's 'Who is Jake Gyllenhaal?,' then it's 'Get me Jake Gyllenhaal,' then 'Get me someone who looks like Jake Gyllenhaal,' and then 'Who is Jake Gyllenhaal?'...Right now, I'm between 'Who is Jake Gyllenhaal?' and 'Get me Jake Gyllenhaal.'" [Gyllenhaal on the stages of fame in Hollywood] Movie Title: The Good Girl (2002) as Holden: Holden : You're a hooker, you hooker. Justine : What are we doing here? Holden : Makin' one outta two. Holden : I'm staring to think... That you don't get me. Justine : MAYBE I *don't* get you. Holden : YOU DO. YOU DO GET ME, YOU JUST DON'T WANNA GET ME BECAUSE I AM TOO INTENSIFIED FOR YOU. Justine : Whatcha readin'? Holden : Catcher in the Rye... I'm named after it. Justine : What's your name? [Holden stares at her blankly] Justine : Catcher? Justine : They call you Tom? Holden : It's my slave name. Holden : [in a letter to Justine] Dear Justine, because of you I will be quitting the Retail Rodeo. The last two days have been the most God awful of my life. I've not been able to get rid of you in my head. I've never wanted anything so bad and I have wanted many things. I'd given up long ago on being gotten by someone else, and then you came along. The idea that I could be gotten because of circumstantial never get got is the worst feeling I've ever felt and I have felt many bad feelings. I'm sorry I can never see you again, Justine. Forgive me for being so weak, but that is who I am. Goodbye. Holden Worther. If, for some reason, you could change your mind and wanna be with me body and soul, meet me after work. I will be waiting for you at 5pm outside Chunky Cheese. If you are not there at five you will never see me again in your lifetime. Movie Title: Bubble Boy (2001) as Jimmy: [Addressing a rough-looking Mexican by a broken-down Harley] Jimmy : I might have something that could help your situation here... Slim : [threatening him with knife] What? What you got that's gonna help? Jimmy : Patches. Slim : Patches? I could use some stinking patches. Jimmy : I'd rather spend one minute holding you than a lifetime knowing I never could. Slim : What are you, some kind of Astronaut? Jimmy : No, I'm some kind of bubble boy. Jimmy : I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic of which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all... [looks down and says faster] Jimmy : I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic of which it stands one nation under God indivisible. Jimmy : How far will this get me? bus stop man : Take a step back. [Jimmy steps back] bus stop man : That far. Movie Title: Josh and S.A.M. (1993) as Leon: Curtis : Did Josh really kill a guy? Sam Whitney : Dad is trying to cover for him, but I saw him. He beat him over the head with a pool stick he was so mad. Leon : What was he so mad about? Sam Whitney : The guy called him a homo. Movie Title: The Day After Tomorrow (2004) as Sam Hall: Laura Chapman : I've got one. Best vacation? Sam Hall : You mean besides this one? Laura Chapman : Everything I've ever cared about, everything I've worked for, it's all been in preparation for a future that no longer exists. I know you always thought I took the competition too seriously. You were right. It was all for nothing. Sam Hall : No, I just said that to avoid admitting the truth. Laura Chapman : The truth about what? Sam Hall : About why I joined the team. I joined it because of you. Brian Parks : [after finding a bottle of penicillin with Russian written on it] I found it! Sam Hall : How can you tell? Brian Parks : Because it says "penicillin" on the bottom. J.D. : [showing the other students the museum] I couldn't let you guys leave New York without seeing the Natural History Museum. Sam Hall : [under his breath] Of course not, it's the world's finest collection of stuffed animals. Movie Title: Moonlight Mile (2002) as Joe Nast: Joe Nast : What did I do? Bertie : You played this song. [Bertie and Joe start slow dancing to the Rolling Stones' "Moonlight Mile"] Joe Nast : What did I do? Bertie : You played my song. June Mulcahey : [referring to Diana's death] He didn't tell me that you were [pause] June Mulcahey : still tied up in all that? Joe Nast : Really? June Mulcahey : No. Joe Nast : Well, you know, it was kind of a deal, the whole thing. The clean-up alone took days. You'd be amazed at what a mess a high-caliber weapon can make, an in a restaurant, all those little pieces of - all of - well anyway, let's just say it was pretty time-consuming. Then you got the whole burial to deal with. This whole coffin business - much more complicated than people think. Standard sizes? Dream on! Had to custom-fit the whole deal. Had a tailor come out, do her size right then and there. Do you know how hard it is to have a tailor come out to do house calls? And on a school night? I mean [laughs] Joe Nast : this is pulling teeth, you know what I'm saying? And then, you know, of course you got the house to deal with, and that's a whole other ordeal, you know? Cause who wants her stuff around, right? I mean, that's a valuable room, why waste it? So, you slog through that and, yeah, next thing you know a couple of weeks have gone by and your thinking to yourself "man oh man, am I still tied up with all this? Where did the time go?" Joe Nast : I'm sorry, I can't, I can't do this. It didn't happen. We loved each other, we broke it off. If I don't-Jesus, if I don't say this now, it'll never-she'll never be a part of this. What are we-what are we doing here? I don't even-I don't even know this guy. She-she didn't even know this guy. What's he got to do with her? I don't-look, you asked me to bring her in the room, and she's not here-she's not. And whatever happens here, whatever happens to this guy, she's not here. And the only way that you're gonna bring her in here is with the truth. I don't know-I don't know what else to say. You just tell me what to say, and I swear, I'll try, but if you want her, you got to keep it honest. You have to understand that Diana had this thing, this way of bringing out the real in people, not just the best, you know-their honesty. And I guess she's doing it again now cause there's no way I'd be sitting here saying these things I can't believe are coming out of my mouth. It was Diana who finally had the courage. *She* was the one who told *me* that I didn't want to go through with it. And I guess she's-she's doing it again, cause all of this-all of this is everything that she wouldn't want. She wasn't a bride-to-be. She wasn't a victim. She was strong and real and messed up and wickedly honest, just like her mother. And if I sit here trying to paint it any other way, I... Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just-I thought-I thought that if I could just... paint the pictures that you needed, you know, that... that somehow... that somehow you'd bring these people some peace, finally, and they'd have their daughter back, or... But, uh... that's not how she'd wanna be. The truth is hard. Sometimes it looks so wrong, you know-the color's off, the style's wrong, but I guess it-I guess it's where the good one's live. Joe Nast : [at the post office] I think you have some mail here. Bertie : You think? Joe Nast : [sneaking out through the bedroom window, whispers to himself] What are you, 16? Mike Mulcahey : Joe, what kind of man do you take me for?... Prisoner of History?... Joe Nast : [caught off guard] Not on appearance...? Mike Mulcahey : Mired in - in convention or... Joe Nast : Uh... I'm... guessing "no"? Mike Mulcahey : Joe, we are brothers. I'm younger than you are. I'm a man of your time. What do we brother's lack...? Joe Nast : So - uh, so many things...? Mike Mulcahey : One thing!... one [pause] Mike Mulcahey : time! Bertie : You think if you just run around fast enough, figure out what everyone wants, no one's gonna notice what a coward you are? Are you that scared? - You sleep in that house, eat their food... you act like everyday's just another Sunday [pause] Bertie : you think if you just keep it up, these people won't notice their daughter's missing? Joe Nast : What are we doing that's so different? - Lend a hand, Bertie! There's not a body in that bar that thinks Cal McGinnis is ever coming home! [pause] Joe Nast : You think I don't know that you're never gonna make room in your life for someone who want's to know you better than 60 lousy percent? [pause] Joe Nast : It's the last 40 that counts! Bertie : [whisper's] Where'd you go, Joe? [walks out, slamming door behind her] Joe Nast : [whisper's to himself] I'm... right here. Joe Nast : She was strong and real and messed up and wickedly honest... just like her mother. Joe Nast : The truth is hard. Sometimes it looks so wrong, y'know. The color's off, the style's wrong, but I guess... I guess it's where the good ones live. Jo Jo Floss : You never smoked did you, Joe? Joe Nast : No. Jo Jo Floss : Diana said you had sweet breath - the very first thing she told me... Atleast the girl had her priorities straight [pause] Jo Jo Floss : Joe, what do you think your gonna do... without our girl? Joe Nast : Jo-Jo, I have no idea. Jo Jo Floss : Promise you'll let me know when you do. [pause] Jo Jo Floss : of course, I'd like you to remain celibate for the rest of your life, but it's negotiable... Bertie : So, did you ever see that "Lucy" episode where she's in this big vat stomping grapes, making wine?... I feel like that everytime I cimb in. I pretend I'm in Italy [Bertie and Joe get into the mail bin] Bertie : ... feeling Italian? Joe Nast : Uh - no, not just yet. Bertie : Give it a sec. Bertie : So, did you come back for that drink? Joe Nast : [chuckles] No, the dancing, actually. Joe Nast : I lost my friend. Joe Nast : [voiceover] Dear Bertie, You asked me before where I went. And I want to tell you. I went to a place where nothing's right, where every moment's backwards, every sky's without colour, without hope. I tried to come back, Bertie. But I got lost. And while I was gone, I met you. And I didn't even have the courage to realize I was home. A wise friend of mine told me "we all have our homes", and now I know it's true. I hope you get this letter, Bertie. I figure I got 75 chances. Cause if you do you'll know that in the end, that's where I was. I found home, Bertie. I found you. I hope you can find your's soon. Get there - as fast as you can. And write me when you do. Love, Joe. Joe Nast : That song at the bar, that was your's? Bertie : He never actually heard it... but Joe Nast : ...But he knew you pretty well? Bertie : About 60% Joe Nast : [speaking to Bertie as she cries with her face turned away from him] Please let me see you. I want to see you. [Bertie turns to Joe and they kiss] June Mulcahey : Must keep you very busy. You must value your free time. Joe Nast : Free time? June Mulcahey : You know- going out, recreation. Joe Nast : I - uh, not of late, no. June Mulcahey : No? Joe Nast : Yeah. Lately I've been a little, preoccupied. June Mulcahey : [smiling] Oh, I see. Other interests. Joe Nast : My fiance's death. Jo Jo Floss : [at her type-writer] I'm doing an accounting, the real her, the Diana facts. [reading from a piece of paper] Jo Jo Floss : "Number 92- laughed like a pig. Full-throated, nasal snorts". Huh? I mean, this is the stuff! Fuck the perfume, give me the warts! [pause] Jo Jo Floss : You. Joe Nast : [chuckles] Ew. Those really ratty sandals she always loved to wear. They always made this incredible farting sound everytime she moved. Bertie : So, commercial real-estate? Joe Nast : Commercial real-estate. Bertie : What the hell does that mean? Joe Nast : [laughing] I have no idea. Bertie : And this is what you want to do? Joe Nast : Not really. Bertie : Oh, and what do you want to do? Joe Nast : I want to figure out what I want to do. Bertie : So you're kind of in "Escrow" at the moment?... real-estate term. Joe Nast : Yeah, I recognized that one [chuckles] Movie Title: Donnie Darko (2001) as Donnie: [To Cherita Chen] Donnie : I promise, that one day, everything's going to be better for you. Donnie : First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village, but the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have reproductive organs under those little white pants. That's what's so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. What's the point of living if you don't have a dick? Donnie : How can you do that? Frank : I can do anything I want. And so can you. [At the school assembly speaking out against Jim Cunningham] Donnie : Do you want your sister to lose weight? Tell her to get off the couch, stop eating twinkies and maybe go out for field hockey. You know what? No one ever knows what they want to be when they grow up. You know it takes a little, little while to find that out, right, Jim? And you... yeah, you. Sick of some jerk shoving your head down the toilet? Well, you know what? Maybe... you should lift some weights, or uh, take a karate lesson and the next time he's tries to do it, you kick him in the balls. Donnie : I made a new friend today. Dr. Lilian Thurman : Real or imaginary? Donnie : Imaginary. Gretchen : You're weird. Donnie : Sorry. Gretchen : No, that was a compliment. Donnie : Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit? Frank : Why are you wearing that stupid man suit? Gretchen : Donnie Darko? What the hell kind of name is that? It's like some sort of superhero or something Donnie : What makes you think I'm not? Donnie : [in a letter] Dear Roberta Sparrow, I have reached the end of your book and... there are so many things that I need to ask you. Sometimes I'm afraid of what you might tell me. Sometimes I'm afraid that you'll tell me that this is not a work of fiction. I can only hope that the answers will come to me in my sleep. I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be so much to look forward to. Donnie : [to his mother] How's it feel to have a wacko for a son? Rose Darko : It feels wonderful. Donnie : You are such a fuckass. Elizabeth : Did you just call me a fuckass? You can go suck a fuck. Donnie : Oh, please, tell me Elizabeth, how exactly does one suck a fuck? Donnie : Frank, when's this gonna stop? Frank : You should already know that. Dr. Lilian Thurman : The search for God is absurd? Donnie : It is if everyone dies alone. Jim Cunningham : Son... DO YOU SEE THIS? This is an Anger Prisoner. A textbook example. DO YOU SEE THE FEAR, PEOPLE? This boy is scared to death of the truth. Son, it breaks my heart to say this, but I believe you are a very troubled and confused young man. I believe you are searching for the answers in all the wrong places... Donnie : You're right, actually. I am pretty- I'm, I'm pretty troubled and I'm, I'm pretty confused. But I. . .and I'm afraid. Really, really afraid. Really afraid. But I... I... I think you're the fucking Antichrist. Gretchen : My mom had to get a restraining order against my step dad. He has emotional problems. Donnie : Oh, I have those too. What kind does your step dad have? Gretchen : He stabbed my mom four times in the chest. Donnie : Oh. Prof. Kenneth Monnitoff : I am not going to be able to continue this conversation Donnie : Why? Prof. Kenneth Monnitoff : I could lose my job. Donnie : Well look, um... uh... you wanna go with me? Gretchen : Where do you wanna go? Donnie : No, I mean like go with me, like you know... like, that's what we call it here... going together... Gretchen : Sure [pauses for a moment, turns and walks away] Donnie : Ok-hey where're you going? Gretchen : I'm going home. [Donnie tries to kiss Gretchen and she pulls away] Donnie : Well I-I, sorry I... Gretchen : Donnie wait... Donnie : I like you a lot... Gretchen : I just want it to be... at a time when... it... Donnie : When what? Gretchen : When it reminds me just... Donnie : When it reminds you of how beautiful the world can be? Gretchen : Yeah... [turns her head] Gretchen : and right now there's some fat guy over there staring at us. Donnie : Ling Ling finds a wallet on the ground filled with money. She takes the wallet to the address on the driver's license but keeps the money inside the wallet. [Scoffs] Donnie : I-I'm sorry Mrs. Farmer. I don't get this. Donnie : Life isn't that simple. I mean who cares if Ling Ling returns the wallet and keeps the money? It has nothing to do with either fear or love. Kitty Farmer : Fear and love are the deepest of human emotions. Donnie : Okay. But you're not listening to me. There are other things that need to be taken into account here. Like the whole spectrum of human emotion. You can't just lump everything into these two categories and then just deny everything else! Donnie : My parents didn't get me what I wanted for Christmas. Dr. Lilian Thurman : What did you want? Donnie : Hungry Hungry Hippos. Dr. Lilian Thurman : And how did you feel, being denied these hungry, hungry hippos? Donnie : Regret. [Donnie is under hypnosis by his therapist] Dr. Lilian Thurman : What else makes you feel regret, Donnie? Donnie : [suddenly breaking into a wide grin] That I did it again... Donnie : I don't think about fucking my family... that's gross. [unbuttons his pants and tries to put his hand inside, but his therapist stops him] Donnie : [taking a cigarette] What will happen if you tell mom about this? Samantha Darko : You'll put Ariel in the garbage disposal. Donnie : Goddamn right I will. Movie Title: Highway (2002) as Pilot Kelson: Jack Hayes : Pop Quiz. Pilot Kelson : No. Jack Hayes : Come on. It's a quick one. Pilot Kelson : Go. Jack Hayes : What is 1,056 dicks? Pilot Kelson : A lot. Jack Hayes : Beep. Perfect Score. Gold star. Movie Title: October Sky (1999) as Homer: Homer : Why're the jocks the only ones who get to go to college? Roy Lee : They're also the only ones who get the girls. O'Dell : What're the chances of us winning that science fair? Homer : A million to one. O'Dell : That good? Well why didn't you say so. Quentin : What do you want to know about rockets? Homer : Everything. Homer : You know, it won't fly unless somebody pushes the button. It's yours if you want it. |
