I interviewed Heath Ledger last spring, a few days after the Oscars, and he was upbeat and charming. This is what he had to say about "I'm Not There," unpublished until now: "Cate Blanchett is Dylan. She's phenomenal. She's going to blow people's doors up. I can't say enough about the whole experience. Todd Haynes is a wonderful man. He's a genius with an incredible vision. I am fairly confident he's pulled it off from the dailies. It really looked like Fellini back from the dead."
He had just come from the Spirit Awards. "I was escorting Michelle," he said. "She was nominated for 'Land of Plenty.'" Did he go to the Oscars, too? "We stayed home and we caught the last three announcements. Missed most of it. We mainly watched to see Ellen. I thought she was fantastic."
