Acting is real important to me. I love it, and it's something I care about.
Joaquin Phoenix
It takes nothing away from a human to be kind to an animal.
Joaquin Phoenix
I know if I'm lost in the moment or not.
Joaquin Phoenix
That to me was really, certainly, the gateway into discovering John, ... I feel I found the speaking voice through the singing voice.
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've worked with a lot of people on music and often times those things don't work out.
Joaquin Phoenix
For me, I'd rather have an intense experience than not.
Joaquin Phoenix
I don't spend most of my life in front of the media.
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
I love doing the music. I love programming beats and kind of working on the music as much, if not more, than the actual rapping.
Joaquin Phoenix
You see so many earnest characters in movies all the time, everyone has a purpose.
Joaquin Phoenix
I enjoy writing rhymes and sitting alone in a room listening to beats. It's pretty amazing.
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
For me, I guess I'm the acting equivalent of somebody that jumps off buildings and parachutes.
Joaquin Phoenix
I like being an employee. I like making somebody happy - and if they're not, then I'm crushed.
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
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
They tell you to memorize your lines, follow your light, and hit your marks. Those are the three things that you shouldn't do. You should not learn your lines, you should not hit your mark, and you should never follow your light. Find your light - that's my opinion. Everyone else will tell me I'm wrong, but that's my opinion.
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 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.
