Heath Ledger in his own Words
TOoP/Bruce:
On what he liked about Ennis Del Mar:
"I don’t know, his potential, he had great potential to love. I think the one time you really see the potential is with his kids, his children, because that’s the one form of love he’s really allowed to express, it’s not dangerous to him. And with his wife it just wasn’t really love, it was just what he thought should be love, and it was a routine that he slipped into because it was conventional. It was traditional, and obviously his love for Jack was forbidden and he hated himself for it, he punished himself for it. Essentially he was a homophobic man in love with another man. So that, I guess, I I always had faith in the love within him a lot more than he did. I think that’s what all the characters found in him too, was the potential within this masculine figure to be kind of vulnerable."
TOoP/Bruce:
Ledger on becoming a father and whether it scares him:
"I wouldn’t say it’s as scary as the last five roles. I mean, it’s definitely more exciting and a lot more beautiful, and it’s definitely my greatest achievement. I now feel kind of connected to something a lot bigger than me. It’s beautiful, there’s something cosmic about it."

TOoP/Bruce:
On the media:
"I don't read anything. I've only seen a couple of photos. Most of the time you don't even know the photographers are there -- and that's the scary thing. It's really strange and invading. But I don't let it bother me. I just try to find humor in it. I understand people's interest in our relationship. It's part of the game, I expect it."

TOoP/Bruce:
"We are a specific breed. We are actually replicas...there are actually factories for actors in Australia and we are preprogrammed." On the supposed "new wave of Australian actors" hitting Hollywood, People.com, May 2, 2001
