Joaquin Phoenix
I know if I'm lost in the moment or not.
Joaquin Phoenix

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.

Everyone else will tell me I'm wrong, but that's my opinion.
Joaquin Phoenix

Joaquin Phoenix
I don't spend most of my life in front of the media.
Joaquin Phoenix
The offers were, like, a lot of money - maybe not for other actors, but definitely for me. But I don't want that power. I don't want $20-million power.
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
