Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Heath: I never had money, and I was very happy without it. When I die, my money's not gonna come with me. My movies will live on--for people to judge what I was as a person. I just want to stay curious.
  Edit Share Hide
- Heath: I only do this because I'm having fun. The day I stop having fun, I'll just walk away. I wasn't going to have fun doing a teen movie again... I don't want to do this for the rest of my life... I don't want to spend the rest of my youth doing this in this industry.
  Edit Share Hide
- Heath: (on playing the Joker in the latest Batman movie, "The Dark Knight") He's just out of control. He has no empathy. He's a sociopath, psychotic, mass-murdering clown. And I'm just thoroughly, thoroughly enjoying it.
