Famous quotes by Joaquin Phoenix

I guess my experience with some stuff is kind of abstract.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
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.Joaquin Phoenix

It's an amazing feeling to go into a studio and really be alone.Joaquin Phoenix
Sometimes a character is really based on research that you do. Other times it's just based on your imagination or perhaps your conversation with the director. Or sometimes all of the above. It depends on the movie and character.Joaquin Phoenix
