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 industry. There's so much I want to discover.”
