More quotes by 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
For me, I guess I'm the acting equivalent of somebody that jumps off buildings and parachutes.
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 would try and sing along with bands that I like but it sounded so atrocious that I couldn't.
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 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 guess I had what you could call an unconventional upbringing.
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'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
I know if I'm lost in the moment or not.
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
You see so many earnest characters in movies all the time, everyone has a purpose.
Joaquin Phoenix
I don't know a single person in life that doesn't have conflict.
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
Acting is real important to me. I love it, and it's something I care about.
Joaquin Phoenix
I love scripts about relationships, and I love to see puppy love evolving into this mature love and communication.
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 don't bring my life into a character at all.
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 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.
