Grief is like a moving river, so that’s what I mean by it’s always changing. It’s a strange thing to say because I’m at heart an optimistic person, but I would say in some ways it just gets worse. It’s just that the more time that passes, the more you miss someone. Nothing will fit in that hole because what we want back we can’t get, which is this one person.
My Never-ending List of Heroes
→ Heath Ledger, (April 1979 – January 2008)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 miss you like the sun misses the flower; like the sun misses the flower in the depths of winter. Instead of beauty to direct its light to, the heart hardens like the frozen world your absence has banished me to. I next compete in the city of Paris, I will find it empty and in the winter if you are not there. Hope guides me, that is what gets me through the day and especially the night. The hope that after you’re gone from my sight, it will not be the last time that I look upon you.
No amount of money changes what I do between ‘action’ and ‘cut’… Before I got into the industry, I never imagined I’d have anywhere near the money I have now… I don’t need any more. It’s not that I don’t want the money, it’s just that I would have been really happy sitting on a beach or surfing every morning… 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.
