"You see so many earnest characters in movies all the time, everyone has a purpose." ― Joaquin Phoenix Topic(s): Movies More From Joaquin Phoenix "I’ve worked with a lot of people on music and often times those things don’t work out." "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." "For me, I’d rather have an intense experience than not." More In Movies "I was dirt-poor. I could barely hold down a job. Eventually, though, I started getting small parts on shows like ‘Smallville,’ ‘Supernatural’… and lots of really bad sci-fi movies. I was running around the woods in wolf contacts, covered in fake blood made out of pancake syrup, roaring."― Cory Monteith "It’s generally much easier to kill an organization than to change it substantially."― Kevin Kelly "Movies are very subjective."― Jeff Bridges
