“I am an insomniac.”

“I spent my entire first pay cheque from 'Cracker,' a TV show on ABC, on an Audi because my other car broke down and I needed to get to work.”

“You think that if you are the best actor, you deserve the most or if you are the biggest star, you deserve the most. That race just isn't important to me.”

“My hat was pulled down and this girl said 'Are you really him?' I whispered 'Yeah, I'm really him.' She screamed, 'Mom! Dad! It's Heath Ledger!”

“Not living in L.A. gives me a different perspective. I'm not so caught up in the daily process of self-congratulations that's out there.”

“People care about my fame, not me. But that's fine. I have my own life.”

“Up until the age of 16, I was very focused on sport - I played a lot of football. Then I tore my ACL and had to stop playing.”

“Hope is the most exciting thing in life, and if you honestly believe that love is out there, it will come. And even if it doesn't come straight away, there is still that chance all through your life that it will.”

“My abilities on the computer are limited pretty much to iTunes and YouTube. I check my email as much as anybody, but I'm more old-fashioned in a certain sense.”

“We all want somebody to come in and save the day and change our lives for the better.”

“I admire when people take the harder path, not because they are masochistic and want to beat themselves up, but because you actually kind of learn more and I think you grow more.”

“I'm very 'spur of the moment'. I'm always trying to think of fun things to do to create a memory.”

“I don't think there's a problem with being a teen idol, if that happens to me, I'll be happy to deal with it.”

“I always find that I have to be emotionally on my character's side for it to be convincing.”

“Be honest with yourself and lie to everyone else.”

“I never really considered acting as a career. I kind of fell into it. Originally, I wanted to be a painter.”

“You know, I'm not really any good at working out when people are flirting with me. And I think I'm too flirtatious with people I'm trying not to flirt with! What I am good at is making people feel uncomfortable. I don't want to but it always ends up happening!”

“I had a good time shooting in New Zealand. I almost bought a home there while I was there, because I loved it so much.”

“My musical tastes go from Zeppelin to Bob Dylan to Kanye West and Lil' Wayne. Anything modern and progressive.”

“I'm proud of 'Black Hawk Down' because I think it told a provocative story and it was honest. It could have had more opportunity to tell both sides of the story, but I'm still proud of it.”
