Heath Ledger on "Two Hands":
"I play Jimmy -- he’s a young guy who's basically grown up his whole life in the Cross."
"His mum maybe was a prostitute, say his father’s dead maybe, and ... he’s in a world where he believes this is his only path in life, you know. He’s been given this life and this is what he has to do."
"I suppose that's one of those situations everyone in life kind of …comes upon at an early age. And it s not until he’s blind, you can say, until he can see."
"When he meets a lovely young lady, Alex, and she opens his eyes and lets him see that there’s another light at the end of the tunnel. It’s interesting …he never really notices this until he gets into the deep end and he ends up having to rob a bank anyway, and get the money back to the bad guys before he can get on with his new life."
"It’s an Australian gangster comedy. It’s a very funny film, but then on the other hand, it equally balances itself out, it counterbalances with ... it’s like shock value comedy. And there’s a lot of drama, it’s sad, and it’s happy. And it resolves itself in the end. It makes you feel like you have seen the end of a movie. It hasn’t just cut you short."
"I think the energy and the feel of the whole thing, and how where its shot in King’s Cross, and the lights -- as I said before its something we haven’t really seen. Is the gangster side of Sydney."
