Heath Ledger in his own Words

TOoP/Bruce:
"Once you hear the accent, you start to hear the character and start to feel the character, so it has become a really big part of it."

Watching TV just makes you go kind of numb, and reading a book you grow, you expand. I like to look for roles that are like books, that I have to study and expand upon."

Ahh...I love that, especially. 

Thanks so much Bruce, again.

I love that one too. It's exactly how I feel when I need to choose between watching TV or reading a book/writing. I always choose the latter.

TOoP/Bruce:
"You don't learn how to act looking in mirrors, you can tell actors who've done that. It's dangerous, because acting is not about what your face is doing. If you act face first then you've worked out your face, but not the true thoughts inside. I work from inside out - thoughts and emotions first, and then the face follows."

TOoP/Bruce:
"Having a child changes every aspect of your life - for the better, of course. The sacrifices are large but what you get in return is even bigger than the sacrifices you make. I feel in a sense ready to die because you are living on in your child."

"You're forced into, kind of, respecting yourself more. You learn more about yourself through your child, I guess. I think you also look at death differently. It's like a catch 22: I feel good about dying now because I feel like I'm alive in her, you know, but at the same hand, you don't want to die because you want to be around for the rest of her life."
