I Walk Around Thinking Job To Job,

Do I Take Care Of My Body And Take Conditioning Seriously? Yes.

I Didn't Know Many Classes Where I Could Try And Relate The Thing That I Really Loved And Wanted To Do Into An Intellectual Idea.

As Uta Hagen Would Say, There's The Representational Actor And The Presentational Actor. My Sister [maggie Gyllenhaal] Came Up To Me Recently After She Saw This Movie, Southpaw, The Movie I Did, And She Thought There Was This Exploration Of That Type Of Presentation, And A Bit Of Representation As Well, If I Could Be Totally Honest, Where She Was Deeply Moved.

My Mom Would Always Say This Thing About Writing - And I've Taken It Into Account In A Lot Of Things In My Life - Which Is Just, "make It Shorter." Figure Out What You Are Truly Saying, Whittle It Down To The Essence, Then Say That.

When I Walk Into A Screening, I'm Nervous In A Different Way Than I Am As An Actor. But The Response Is Ultimately I Know How I Feel About It And That's What Matters To Me The Most.
