Heath Ledger

I wasn't going to have fun doing a teen movie again.

When I started to watch some of the films I'd done, I realized I was doing movies that I might not actually want to see.

I'm still a kid. I'm like six years old. But it's just a matter of wanting to get up, it's just a big journey. I felt like when I left home that I was on a journey, and I still am.

I don't have that much forward planning about what I want to do next, or in the future.

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.

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.

Anyone that has a job that takes them away from home, I think, can understand the difficulties in maintaining consistency, not only with your family and those you love but with your friends.

From 18 to 22, I was alone, living in L.A. with a bunch of friends, partying.
