I feel like I've never been in a film that people have liked before.
Heath Ledger

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.
Heath Ledger
Image
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!'

I feel like I'm wasting time if I repeat myself.

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.

My nervous energy is usually the easiest form of energy to tap into.

I apologize for my terrible interview skills.
Heath Ledger
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.

In order not to hold a frame with someone, you have to be intimidated by them.
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
I'm sure drugs and alcohol perhaps would inspire new thoughts, but it's certainly not something that I use as a tool or a mechanism to create.
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.

Image
I think the most common cause of insomnia is simple its loneliness.
Heath Ledger
Image
Had I listened to my agent, I'd be running around in tights, climbing buildings and stuff.

Image
If you make decisions based upon people's reactions or judgments then you make really boring choices.
Heath Ledger
Image
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.

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.

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.
