Joaquin Phoenix
I know if I'm lost in the moment or not.
Joaquin Phoenix
Might I be ridiculous? Might my career in music be laughable? Yeah, that's possible, but that's certainly not my intention.

There are certain aspects of acting that I don't like. I'm not a person who loves being on set. I mean, I know people that have their espresso machines in their trailers and they like being in there and they put pictures on walls. But I don't like it. I don't like sitting around.

I had a really wonderful upbringing. We were a tight family. It was wonderful to grow up with so many siblings. We were all just a year or two apart, and we were always so supportive of each other. I learned everything from my older brother and sister and taught it to my younger sisters.
Joaquin Phoenix

Joaquin Phoenix
I once told a journalist that girls call me 'Kitten,' but I couldn't have been more sarcastic, and no matter how many times I've said that it was a joke, it still doesn't go away.
Joaquin Phoenix
I'm proud of my brother. I would never not want to be associated with him.
Joaquin Phoenix
I love scripts about relationships, and I love to see puppy love evolving into this mature love and communication.
Joaquin Phoenix
Acting is real important to me. I love it, and it's something I care about.
Joaquin Phoenix

My personal life absolutely goes down the drain when I start working that's something that I'm incapable of doing.
Joaquin Phoenix
I guess I had what you could call an unconventional upbringing.
Joaquin Phoenix
I enjoy writing rhymes and sitting alone in a room listening to beats. It's pretty amazing.
Joaquin Phoenix
How can you work in film and still see the overt racism that exists in film and not just be furious all the time?
Joaquin Phoenix
Every single movie that I've ever done has affected my life I always feel more changed by a character than I affect them or change them, always. I mean, that's just kind of the way it is.
Joaquin Phoenix
