Heath Ledger in his own Words
TOoP/Bruce:
I don't have a technique. I've never been a believer in having one set technique on how to act. There are no rules and there is no rulebook. At the end of the day, it all comes down to my instincts. That's the one thing that guides me through every decision professionally. Socially, also. That's my technique. Yeah, you read through the script 100 times. I guess I have little characteristics about myself. Sometimes, most often than not, once we start shooting I won't look at the script at all until we finished shooting. It's kind of like it's been imprinted in my head during rehearsals. You just let it go.
TOoP/Bruce:
The challenge was to capture the stillness of him. I have kind of semi-frantic, nervous energy. Harnassing that was something I thought I'd have to work out. Shooting in the wilderness, the stillness became like this innate quality." -on his character "Ennis" in Brokeback Mountain.
TOoP/Bruce:
"Brooklyn seems to me the closest thing in America to Europe. The neighbors and locals are beautiful people. It's like a village."
TOoP/Bruce:
"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."
TOoP/Bruce:
"I get books. I meditate on it. I need a space like this where I can just sit and think and find a voice for the character and visualise it."
