Heath Ledger in his own Words
TOoP/Bruce:
On being compared to other Australian actors, Chud.com, April 25, 2001:
"It is a media thing. When people ask that, you're forced to make things up to please them. I have no answers to that. It's all constructed by the media."
TOoP/Bruce:
Heath at the premiere of 'A Knight's Tale" in Westwood.
"I'd rather be at the Lakers game. It's playoff time, but a guy's got responsibilities."
TOoP/Bruce:
“I don’t have a method to my madness.… For me, acting is more about self-exploration. I’ve learned a lot about myself in order to learn about the craft. How many kings can you find to play a king? You can’t find them. When I act, I look at it as if I’m a mixing board in a sound studio. The pattern on the board is me. When I play a character, I go, ‘I’ll turn these knobs down and these ones up.’ But in order to do that I have to know myself. I have to know myself like an instrument. I’m just a saxophone,”
TOoP/Bruce:
“I’ve always been very big on self-exploration and answering my own questions. For so many, it’s hell growing up. But I guess I’m blessed. I’ve really enjoyed it. I don’t let a lot get to me. I really don’t. As I keep saying, I break everything down. Everything."
TOoP/Bruce:
“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!’ ”
