A biography for Heath Ledgerhasn’t been written yet.
“I'm not good at future planning. I don't plan at all. I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. I don't have a day planner and I don't have a diary. I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future.”
“I never want to feel like I've achieved my goal. It's like Chinese farmers. They never admit that it's a good season. They feel like they'll be punished.”
“When I first started acting, I was just crap.”
“In order not to hold a frame with someone, you have to be intimidated by them.”
“It's rare that there's a role that requires an Australian accent.”
“When I started to watch some of the films I'd done, I realized I was doing movies that I might not actually want to see.”
“I feel like I'm wasting time if I repeat myself.”
“I've never figured out who 'Heath Ledger' is on film: 'This is what you expect when you hire me, and it will be recognizable.'”
“I'm in control of my life, not anyone in Hollywood.”
“It can be a little distressing to have to overintellectualize yourself.”
“I love acting and I have a lot of fun.”
“From 18 to 22, I was alone, living in L.A. with a bunch of friends, partying.”
“I'm kind of addicted to moving.”
“My life is together, both professionally and socially.”
“I like to do something I fear.”
“I don't feel like I have anything to lose, so I don't really understand what I'm putting at risk.”
“I do keep pre-occupied.”
“If you are just safe about the choices you make, you don't grow.”
“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 want to do theatre. I love theatre.”
