Joaquin Phoenix Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Joaquin Phoenix:

When I go out with the ladies, I don't force them to pronounce my name. I tell them I like to go by the nickname of Kitten.

I've 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

If you walk into a room and one hundred people say, 'You are a lovely, beautiful person', who isn't going to be affected by that? But you have to tell yourself not to value that. You have to tell yourself - or at least I do - to not become accustomed to hearing applause in any way, because I think that's dangerous.

Joaquin Phoenix

I don't know why I always get to play these guys who have few redeeming features. But don't knock it. Villains are much more fun.

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.

I wouldn't feel satisfied being on set every day doing a romantic comedy - I'd be bored to death.

For me, I'd rather have an intense experience than not.

The reason I keep making movies is I hate the last thing I did. I'm trying to rectify my wrongs.
