More quotes by 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
For me, I guess I'm the acting equivalent of somebody that jumps off buildings and parachutes.
Joaquin Phoenix
I've worked with a lot of people on music and often times those things don't work out.
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
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've never made $20 million. I'm scared. I don't know if you gave me The Ring if I could carry it and bring it to Ozamorph, or whatever you call it.
Joaquin Phoenix
I love having a master. I have no problem serving my director. That's my job. I want to make them happy.
Joaquin Phoenix
I don't walk around like I'm a movie star because I don't think of myself as a movie star. People usually don't even notice me.
Joaquin Phoenix
I've been in clubs. I don't like being in an enclosed place with really loud music, and a lot of drunk people. It's not my idea of a good time. It's just such a miserable life.
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
I don't think one should be comfortable standing on a stage with people applauding and laughing at every stupid thing you say.
Joaquin Phoenix
I enjoy humour more than anything, I don't really sit around banging my head and crying all the time.
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
I wouldn't feel satisfied being on set every day doing a romantic comedy - I'd be bored to death.
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
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.
Joaquin Phoenix
I've made up so many stores about my name, I can't remember.
Joaquin Phoenix
I don't bring my life into a character at all.
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 just I don't feel challenged by acting anymore. I don't enjoy the process anymore.
Joaquin Phoenix
