TOBEY MAGUIRE QUOTES

All the people throughout my life who were naysayers pissed me off. But they’ve all given me a fervor; an angry ambition that cannot be stopped – and I look forward to finding a therapist and working on that.

I’ve been mistaken for so many different actors, it’s just wild. I’ve gotten Jake Gyllenhaal a few times, like, ‘Loved you in Brokeback Mountain (2005)!’
