Heath Ledger quotes

“What I have to keep reminding myself is that no matter what they talk about or what they say about you or the pressures, that life in here is what I originally had and what I still have and still cherish. As long as I can keep my head there I’m fine, it’s not really a hard thing for me to do.”

“If I didn’t do this I don’t know what I’d do. I don’t think I could do a regular 9 to 5 job. The only thing I’ve ever done professionally is acting. Maybe I’d do something close to a beach. Other than that I’d probably take photos.”
