An Interview with Heath Ledger from a Netherlands Magazine.
- This interview has been kindly translated by Tamarah! - Thanks!


There were some accidents on the set. Have you been hurt? 

Heath: Nah, I got a stuntman who takes the hard work, so I didn�t get hurt on the set, haha

How easy was the part as a knight on a horse?
Heath: I ride horses for a while, so the only difficult thing was holding the lance right. But on the other side it was a lot of fun! I feel like a little boy who may play in a �playgarden� for one whole day!!

Was it difficult to wear the  (heavy)uniform??

Heath: I really can�t believe that people who lives years ago could fight in it. And it was terribly hot! And if you needed to scratch you couldn�t reach the place that you wanted because there was the uniform! I�ve seen some Knights who were scratching at a tree! Haha.

How did you get interested in A Knight�s Tale??

Heath: I got interested in the movie because the script was really nice to read. It was like a comedy and a love story with action and rock music. But it was a big challenge; like: How I gonna do this??

The movie �Four Feathers with Jate Hudson has already been recorded too. Tell us about it!
Heath: It was great! Four months in a dessert with Shekhar Kapur. He�s the best at the set! He can change your life completely, and he will!  He works you totally for 100 %, 24 hours, 7 days and 4 months with three hours for a sleep, without failing! I like that!

Since the Patriot you've become very hot in Hollywood. How does it feel?

Heath: I worked very hard and I didn�t get the time to think about it. It�s exiting and scary at the same time, because all those things that get straight to you�

Do people recognise you?
Heath: Yeah, specially in Australia. And I think in America too. But in Australia the most. It�s a noise there. Too bad because my �home� will never be the same again.

Do people yell to you on the street?

Heath: Yes. It even got in the newspaper (1st page) that I like to eat fettucini in a restaurant on Tuesday!!

You said �no thanks� to a lot of films, even when you got no money for a while. Wasn�t that hard?
Heath: No! Totally not!! I�m not being an actor for the money! And it was funny to say �NO� to all those movies! The people in Hollywood didn�t like that at all!

Is it true that you say �no thanks� to �Spiderman�?

Heath: It wasn�t a direct question. They wanted to talk about it first, then they�d ask me officially. But why should I do it? I've never read comics and if I did, I�d read Spiderman last.

How did you meet your girlfriend Heather Graham?

Heath: At a party!

Do you give Heather advice, and Heather you?

Heath: No I didn�t have a relationship with Heather for the business. No true love relationship is, at least not for me.

Does she change your life?

Heath: Haha, I'm not gonna tell you that!!

What do you miss the most about Australia?
I think I miss the sense of humour.

Is there a big difference??  

Yes, there is!! The people in Australia have got a very dry sense of humor, if I make a joke in the US, the people think I�m serious. So I decided that I don�t make any jokes.
