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 still think that movies are amazing I respect actors and directors. – 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
Ive always loved music, but I never really played anything. After Walk the Line and learning to play guitar, and having that sense of performing, I think that certainly opened the door for me, for music. – Joaquin Phoenix
