Heath Ledger

I thought, I need to be more cautious about my choices - it reflects on who I am.

The reason that you dance and sing is to make the audience feel like they're dancing and singing. As long as you're having fun with it and giving it 100 percent, they're gonna feel that.

I do keep pre-occupied.

You know, I'm not in a hurry, and everybody else in Hollywood - particularly agents and managers - they're all in a hurry.

I want to do theatre. I love theatre.

When I first started acting, I was just crap.

I don't know, as long as I get to evolve and grow as an actor and as a person, that's the stuff I'm after.

I felt like my career was out of my hands.

In order not to hold a frame with someone, you have to be intimidated by them.

I didn't want to raise my child in Hollywood.

I've never figured out who 'Heath Ledger' is on film: 'This is what you expect when you hire me, and it will be recognizable.'

I'm just not one of those naturally funny, relaxed actors who enjoy the spotlight and are so good at it.

I like to do something I fear.

There's nothing like working with your mates - it's the way it should be, as far as I'm concerned.

It's odd, that's why I don't like telling people I played field hockey. It's real big in Australia for guys. But I say I played in America, and everybody goes, 'Oh, you girl!'

I generally don't think most situations can be labeled as black or white.

If you spend all day on horseback, and you hop off, you walk around like you still have a horse between your legs. And it affects your shoulders. They fall.

I'm happy without money.

My life is together, both professionally and socially.

In my opinion, New York City police officers are brave.
