"I’ve worked with a lot of people on music and often times those things don’t work out." ― Joaquin Phoenix Topic(s): Music More From Joaquin Phoenix "For me, I’d rather have an intense experience than not." "I feel an obligation to set the record straight. Actors that say they’re affected by something, that it changes their life, that they take it home with them, they’re just trying to get nominated for an Oscar!" "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." More In Music "Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So it’s like, just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. You’d better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because that’s really the only unique situation that’s going to be left."― David Bowie "I see no reason for calling my work poetry except that there is no other category in which to put it."― Marianne Moore "A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas – a place where history comes to life."― Norman Cousins
