Perhaps they´ve already been posted here.

Matt Damon:
--- Quote ---"Heath's the best actor I've ever worked with," he says. "Coming off The Brothers Grimm, which wasn't particularly well-received, I remember telling people about him. 'Heath Ledger, you mean the guy from A Knight's Tale?' they would say. I'd tell them, 'No, you wait!' And then he did Brokeback Mountain and The Dark Knight. People just got a glimpse of what he was going to do. He was so full of life. I don't think I'll ever get over that, nor will anybody who knew him. He was a miracle of a man. It's just horrible. It sucks." He starts to tear up, and gulps down some much-needed mineral water.

Gulp. :'( What lovely and heartfelt words. It's still heartbreaking to hear his friends and co-workers use the past tense, but I'm so grateful when they express their thoughts and admiration publicly. Thank you, Matt.
And thanks for posting this, MilAn.

Heath touched the hearts of so many. Wonderful and sad to see.
I've always had a thing for Matt Damon. The first time I watched BG was because he is in it, I didn't know Heath back then. After Brokeback, I watched it again because Heath is in it.
The Venice detail in the article gave me a smile.

What a beautiful man Matt Damon is. He was so sincere in his admiration for how he felt. It was hard
to read. You could tell he is a very deeply feeling person. Of course by what we have always seen, of him
it has always been fairly obvious.
An aside about the movie BG, I bought it right after the video came out. I was somewhat disappointed,
but not by the acting. The movie had so much potential. Everything was there, as far as I could tell, except
the story was so non cohesive. It went everywhere, and nowhere. But in favor of Heath and Matt, they
both did wonderful jobs I thought. The costumes, the towns, etc. were very interesting and well done as
well. ??? Too bad it just died on the vine so to speak.
