Joaquin Phoenix
I like working all the time. I hate taking breaks. I don't like the weekends.
Joaquin Phoenix
I don't bring my life into a character at all.
Joaquin Phoenix
For me, I guess I'm the acting equivalent of somebody that jumps off buildings and parachutes.
Joaquin Phoenix
Getting into the character is difficult and letting go of your life and the things that kind of define you, whatever it is in life that's your daily routine because you sort of find yourself in this other life and that's difficult and the other end is difficult.
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.

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

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
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'm vomiting days before I start shooting a new movie.
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
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
