I feel an obligation to set the record straight. Actors that say theyre affected by something, that it changes their life, that they take it home with them, theyre just trying to get nominated for an Oscar! – Joaquin Phoenix
I dont really make movies because I want to see my face on a billboard or because I want to get good reviews or have a big box office. That doesnt really matter to me at all. – Joaquin Phoenix
The only reason why I would like to be accepted? Because if your movies dont do well, after a while you dont get to make any more movies. – 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
