Method acting means drawing upon ones own experiences for a part. There is no evidence he did this for that role, and he did not stay in character while filming.
It is a misconception that his performance as the Joker caused him to become addicted to pills. He had been taking different forms of sleeping drugs since his teen years and his comfort with them started much earlier.
When dealing with the pressures of film set hours, he took more pills to adjust his sleep schedule. He was descended from the Solomon family, who were prominent, early, Jewish settlers in Australia. His four times great-grandfather, Emanuel Solomon, a convict sent to Australia with his brother, was a businessperson and politician who was a Member of the South Australian House of Assembly and the South Australian Legislative Council.

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. Vanity Fair, August I prefer to date older women because they don't try to act older like younger girls but because they try to act younger.
It's a little uncomfortable doing love scenes in armor, but, you know, when the heat's on, the heat's on. Access Hollywood , August Now, that's the scary thing. It's really strange and invading, but I'm still working it all out. I try to not let it bother me. I really try and find the humour in all of it.
And if I want to swim naked in my pool, I'm still going to do it. I certainly don't want to feel that I have to change everything in my life that I do to cater to them.
I just won't let it happen. National Post, May I don't have a technique. I've never been a believer in having one set technique on how to act. There are no rules and there is no rulebook. At the end of the day, it all comes down to my instincts. That's the one thing that guides me through every decision professionally. Socially, also. That's my technique. Yeah, you read through the script times. I guess I have little characteristics about myself. Sometimes, most often than not, once we start shooting I won't look at the script at all until we finished shooting.
It's kind of like it's been imprinted in my head during rehearsals. You just let it go. I'm the worst auditioner, really, really bad.
I mean, you're being judged and I'm just so aware of it that it consumes me. I can't relax, I'm tied in knots, so the voice is very taut and tense.
You're so aware that you're acting 'cause you're sitting across from this lady with a piece of paper who's going, ''I'm. Blah, blah, blah,'' in this emotionless voice. It's foul. I hate it. People just love to bash LA. People say it's so pretentious, so arrogant, so this and that. But it's truly a wonderful place. You don't have to go to the places where that stuff goes on.
You don't have to go to Beverly Hills, you don't have to go to the parties. You can live up in the Lower Canyon and live such a perfectly healthy, beautiful, fun life with all your friends. You can drive two hours one way and be at the Joshua Tree desert, two hours one way you're skiing at Big Bear. Sure, it can get full-on and that's why it's good to get out.
But it's too easy just to say, "Nup, I hate it. I'm not living there anymore. You grow up with all those women around you Cosmopolitan, June I never studied acting in Australia. I never had an empty stage and black pajamas to run around and express myself. I have kind of semi-frantic, nervous energy.
Harnessing that was something I thought I'd have to work out. Shooting in the wilderness, the stillness became like this innate quality. Brooklyn seems to me the closest thing in America to Europe. The neighbors and locals are beautiful people. It's like a village.
Michelle and I love her so much. Becoming a father exceeds all my expectations. It's the most remarkable experience I've ever had - it's marvelous. 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. He's just out of control -- no empathy, he's a sociopath, uh, a psychotic, mass-murdering clown. And, uh, I'm just thoroughly, thoroughly enjoying it. It's just exceeded any expectations I had of what the experience would be like. I can't say I'm proud of my work. It's the same with everything I do: the day I say 'It's good' is the day I should start doing something else.
It's so noisy that it's quiet, you can't hear; the flashlights are so blinding that it's dark, you can't see. I start to get bored, not with the choices I was making, because I didn't really have a choice. The choices were being made for me -- I was being thrown into projects. So I kind of put the brakes on that.
In a sense, I destroyed my career to rebuild it again. I like to do something I fear. I like to set up obstacles and defeat them.
I like to be afraid of the project. I always am. When I get cast in something, I always believe I shouldn't have been cast. I fooled them again.
