Having fun Quote by Heath Ledger

“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.” quote by Heath Ledger
