Don't let anyone ever make you feel you don't deserve what you want.
Heath Ledger

I never really cared much for Hollywood or movies. But the curiosity for filmmaking, and expanding myself as an actor and my curiosity for people and portraying them, just has grown. And that's from simply being involved in the industry. But it was never a goal of mine as a kid.

Image
I love acting. Oh, God, I love it. But all this fame and all this bullshit attention. I'm not supernatural. I've done nothing extremely special to deserve the position. It happens every couple of years, and it's happened to hundreds of people before me.
Heath Ledger
Image
I'm not a big fan of western movies and I really don't like cowboy-indian movies. I have never watched them.
Heath Ledger
Image
The Oscars are a really strange concept to me, that films and acting can be competing against each other. We're not running the same race. It's like we're all doing different sports in fact.

I'm still a kid. I'm like six years old. But it's just a matter of wanting to get up, it's just a big journey. I felt like when I left home that I was on a journey, and I still am.

It's odd, that's why I don't like telling people I played field hockey. It's real big in Australia for guys. But I say I played in America, and everybody goes, 'Oh, you girl!'

You have to be willing to be manipulated in the first place because you can either recognize that in your director and then fight it because you don't trust them, but I'm not going to let them manipulate me. Or you think they're on to something and that they're manipulating something out of you which is interesting and new.

Image
But the paparazzi are quite malicious and vocal and really rude, ... And they camped outside of my house, so I started throwing eggs at them, lobbing them at rocks next to them.
Heath Ledger
Image
I think your personal evolution runs hand in hand with your professional evolution. Performance and the person you are kind of grow simultaneously.
Heath Ledger
Image
The Joker is a psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy. Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night. I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going.
Heath Ledger
Image
It's a little uncomfortable doing love scenes in armor, but, you know, when the heat's on, the heat's on.
Heath Ledger
Image
The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules.
Heath Ledger
Image
I'm in control of my life, not anyone in Hollywood.
Heath Ledger
Image
I feel like I'm wasting time if I repeat myself.

In order not to hold a frame with someone, you have to be intimidated by them.

Image
You see, in their last moments people show you who they really are.

Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I’m an agent of chaos, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair.
Heath Ledger
Image
I like to do something I fear.
Heath Ledger
Image
I'm an extremely private dude and all this is happening so damn quick. I really haven't had any time to rationalize it. But it's nothing that I'm going to let freak me out or take control of me or my thoughts or my real life.
