A big, studly football jock like me? I got plenty of blood to spare. For you, I have anything to spare.

Heath and I could really relate. And I know he'll go through a lot of the things I did 10 years earlier.

Do you often hang around Hampstead Heath?

If you see me or Heath (Ledger) in a movie that you don’t like it’s because we made a bad decision, ... There’s no hiding behind, ‘Well, I needed the money. I needed to pay my rent.’

One of the first things he said to me was, 'I used to ride your skateboards in the '80s.' Heath wanted to do this film because there was something in him from his childhood.

That's a Heath thing. We like our pitchers to finish what they start. We don't go out and get them every time they're struggling.
