I was raised a Catholic as a boy and went to a Catholic boys' high school, a private school, and kind of drifted away, candidly, in my latter teen years. I consider myself deeply spiritual but not in an institutional, religious kind of a way.

And I certainly embedded that in my psyche and I have lived that very effectively.

On a spiritual level, on a place where you want to be a better human being and listen more, I try. I joke, but it has. I mean, I don't consider myself a card-carrying Buddhist, you know.

Jake Gyllenhaal

I hope I'm a spiritual person. I'm trying to be a spiritual person.
