More From Joaquin Phoenix
- "I wouldn’t feel satisfied being on set every day doing a romantic comedy – I’d be bored to death."
- "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."
- "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!"
More In Experience
- "Sometimes, you start with the drawing and then the gag comes to you in the middle of it. That is when you start working on the solution of the gag, which is composition, placing, equilibrium, and character design."― Sergio Aragones
- "People have perhaps gotten to the point where for the most part movies are a just bit of escape."― Neil LaBute
- "Some of us are interested in directors, but really the vast majority of us are interested in actors. You experience the films through the actors, so they’re all locked into your imagination in some kind of layer of fantasy or hatred or wherever they settle into your imagination."― Danny Boyle
