Quote

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.

It's like anything in life, visualizing the old man you're going to become: As long as you have a clear picture of that - the life you want to lead - eventually you'll probably get there.

I apologize for my terrible interview skills.

May I ask your name, my lady? Or perhaps angels have no names, only beautiful faces.

Nobody panics when things go “according to plan”. Even if the plan is horrifying!
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.

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

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

If having true love and love that is expressive and free outside of work affects a project where you have to be restrained and in denial and fixed and closed off. This doesn't mean you go out and just destroy your love outside of your life and kind of mirror your movie.

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.

I only do this because I'm having fun. The day I stop having fun, I'll just walk away.

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.

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.

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
If you make decisions based upon people's reactions or judgments then you make really boring choices.
Heath Ledger
Image
I'm shy. People get confused. They think as an actor you can get up and be confident on the screen. Why aren't you like this in normal life? Why can't you act in your social life? 'Because I can't!'

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

The first memory I have, anyway, I guess - I think it was my second birthday and the cake came out with the candles and I was very excited and I was, like, Oh! A cake! and then my cousin blew out the candles. I was so disappointed. It just broke my heart. And so that's stamped in my brain.

From 18 to 22, I was alone, living in L.A. with a bunch of friends, partying.
