More quotes by Joaquin Phoenix

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
I've worked with a lot of people on music and often times those things don't work out.
Joaquin Phoenix
I enjoy writing rhymes and sitting alone in a room listening to beats. It's pretty amazing.
Joaquin Phoenix
I loved hip-hop. The first stuff I heard was Public Enemy, and I couldn't believe it. It was amazing, and I've always loved hip-hop.
Joaquin Phoenix
I like working all the time. I hate taking breaks. I don't like the weekends.

The footage that you're about to watch of China's dog-leather trade is one of the worst things I've ever seen.
Joaquin Phoenix
I'm going to sound a little weird here, but I like to spend a lot of time on my own in the woods. I don't exactly sneak off in the middle of the night, but I like to be in a place where no one can reach me by phone or e-mail.
Joaquin Phoenix
I have this horrible sense of humor where I think discomfort is funny - partly because I experience discomfort a lot, and it's a way of laughing at it and getting a release.
Joaquin Phoenix
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
In every film, whether it's a fictional character or not, you create an idea of the character and for me I always do a bad impersonation to start with.
Joaquin Phoenix
I don't bring my life into a character at all.
Joaquin Phoenix
The reason I keep making movies is I hate the last thing I did. I'm trying to rectify my wrongs.
Joaquin Phoenix
Animal rights is a part of my everyday life. When you live by example, you create a certain level of awareness. Friends of mine - people I have never discussed animal rights or vegetarianism with - are adopting vegetarian habits because they see it.
Joaquin Phoenix
I do like to collaborate, and I like hearing other people, and I like how somebody's performance will affect my own.
Joaquin Phoenix
Might I be ridiculous? Might my career in music be laughable? Yeah, that's possible, but that's certainly not my intention.
Joaquin Phoenix
I just I don't feel challenged by acting anymore. I don't enjoy the process anymore.
Joaquin Phoenix
Acting is real important to me. I love it, and it's something I care about.
Joaquin Phoenix
I'm very thankful for the people that I've had the opportunity to work with. I have a good life. It's been amazing. I'm not complaining. It's not like acting has ruined me so I have to leave. It's not that. I'm just done with it.
Joaquin Phoenix
For me, I'd rather have an intense experience than not.
Joaquin Phoenix
