From an article on I'm Not There:
"The philandering, mid-Seventies' Dylan, played by Heath Ledger, and re-christened Robbie, is perhaps the most enigmatic, and the most intriguing, presence in the film. This is the Dylan who wrote 'Blood on the Tracks', and the plaintive broken-hearted ballad 'Sara', perhaps the most naked cri de couer he ever wrote."

True enough, Louise, but in "I'm Not There", it's intentional, and more flattering. :)
(I don't know how many takes he had for the jumping sequence, but I know from experience that the water in the Bow River is c-o-l-d.)

I originally didn't post anything about this here, because it's negative, and not really about Heath. But I feel like Heath is indirectly addressing it in one of his interviews above, in the positive things he says about Nicholson's Joker, so here goes. It's an interview Jack Nicholson gave recently:
MTV: What do you think of another actor, Heath Ledger, playing the Joker in next summer's "The Dark Knight"?
Nicholson: Let me be the way I'm not in interviews. I'm furious. I'm furious. [He laughs.] They never asked me about a sequel with the Joker. I know how to do that! Nobody ever asked me.
MTV: It was never brought up?
Nicholson: No. It's like, in any area, you can't believe the reasons things do or don't happen. Not asking me how to do the sequel is that kind of thing. Maybe it's not a mistake. Maybe it was the right thing, but to be candid, I'm furious.
MTV: I'm surprised to hear you sounding competitive about a role like that.
Nicholson: Well, the Joker comes from my childhood. That's how I got involved with it in the first place. It's a part I always thought I should play.
MTV: Will you see the new film?
Nicholson: I'm not inclined to watch it because of what I said. But if it's a good movie, I'll catch up with it somewhere. I don't think they ever really captured Tim Burton's spirit [since he stopped being involved]. They kind of drove the franchise into the ground. Tim Burton's a genius. He had the right take on it. That's why I did the movie. I did the movie based on a single conversation with him. We both come from the cartoon world originally. We had similar ideas. Tim said [the Joker] should have a humorous dark side to him. [Burton is] one of the great moviemakers. I think the world of him. He's the most unassuming man. And he doesn't feel pressure. That's what I love about him. Once he's in there, he's smiling making the movie. That's it!

A little odd:
Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams Putting Their Daughter First
November 9th, 2007 by Claudia
Gotta hand it to these folks, in a celebrity world where separation and divorce and children are synonymous with the word *ugly*, Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger are trying to take the high road. They are trying to make things as easy as possible for their daughter Matilda by making her bedroom at Michelle’s in Brooklyn identical to Heath’s in Soho.
They are having them designed exactly the same so when she wakes up in Heath’s place she won’t feel displaced.”
To me they’re not only making a statement to their daughter that she has a safe place no matter where she goes, but they are also giving a pretty strong message to the world as well. This is one of those things that seems a little weird, but honestly, what celebrities do with their vast amounts of money is always weird to me. I think the important thing here is that Matilda’s needs are coming first, which is NOT common in the Kingdom of Celebrities.
