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.

More quotes by Heath Ledger
People generally express more in between their sentences when they're not speaking. Words are usually there to disguise who someone is or what they're feeling.
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.
Heath Ledger
I sat around in a hotel room in London for about a month, locked myself away, formed a little diary and experimented with voices - it was important to try to find a somewhat iconic voice and laugh. I ended up landing more in the realm of a psychopath - someone with very little to no conscience towards his acts.
Heath Ledger
It's a little uncomfortable doing love scenes in armor, but, you know, when the heat's on, the heat's on.
Heath Ledger
When anything is blocking my head or there's worry in my life, I just go sit on Mars or something and look back here at Earth. All you can see is this tiny speck. You don't see the fear. You don't see the pain. You don't see thought. It's just one solid speck. Then nothing really matters. It just doesn't.
Heath Ledger
I think the most common cause of insomnia is simple its loneliness.
Heath Ledger
My mom and my dad never pushed me into performing. They never prohibited me from trying anything, or being anything. They never restricted me in any way. For which I'll be forever grateful.
Heath Ledger
My nervous energy is usually the easiest form of energy to tap into.
Heath Ledger
If you make decisions based upon people's reactions or judgments then you make really boring choices.
Heath Ledger
I'm just not one of those naturally funny, relaxed actors who enjoy the spotlight and are so good at it.
Heath Ledger
I thought, I need to be more cautious about my choices - it reflects on who I am.
Heath Ledger
Growing up in Australia, you never feel like you're going to live beyond that place. You wake up and you go to the beach, and you do your homework. You're just a kid.
Heath Ledger
Don't let anyone ever make you feel you don't deserve what you want.
Heath Ledger
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.
Heath Ledger
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
I generally don't think most situations can be labeled as black or white.
Heath Ledger
I believe acting truly is harnessing the power of belief.
Heath Ledger
I like to do something I fear.
Heath Ledger
I only do this because I'm having fun. The day I stop having fun, I'll just walk away.
Heath Ledger
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.
