Famous quotes by Joaquin Phoenix:

"No, but I feel it. I'm not worried about the looks. I'm worried about the sensation of my brain being eaten. ... What did you ask me?"

"Getting lost like that is my drive,"

"I don't know if you've noticed but I've messed up like 40 times. I'm all over the place."

"The expectation is this low, gravelly voice for John, but I went through his early recordings and there were songs in there where the voice was so different, I wasn't even sure if it was him singing, ... So it was interesting to me that we would see him develop the Man in Black sound. I thought it was really important that his voice change as his persona slowly solidified. The music was really the doorway into the character."

"I went to have dinner at their house before I even heard about the movie. We were in their living room and John just started strumming. He said he was waiting for June before he could get his nerve up. And I thought, 'Wow, this is Johnny Cash waiting to get his nerve up. This guy has played prisons and he's nervous.' Then June came in and they started singing On the Banks of the River Jordan and they're looking into each other's eyes, and the connection and love they had was palpable."

"That's the duality of Johnny: he was very, very family-oriented, and yet he was also a s---kicker."

"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'm terrible at metaphors or analogies. I don't know the difference, actually, ... For me, acting is like your dad teaching you to ride a bicycle. You feel totally vulnerable at first. You imagine yourself getting hurt, and the only thing that prevents you from crashing is your dad is running after you, holding on to the back of your seat. You keep looking over your shoulder at him, and he's going, 'You're doing it, kid.' And then, all of a sudden, you're, like, 'Why are you still holding on, Dad? Let go.'"

"My significant other right now is myself, which is what happens when you suffer from multiple personality disorder and self-obsession."

"Something's crawling out of my scalp."

"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!"

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

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

"I'm incredibly lazy!"

"Every movie soaks into you for a certain amount of time."

"I wish I had fair justification for not being as informed as I should be, but I don't."

"I becan acting when River was doing this TV series and they needed two kids for the show, so they got me and my little sister, Summer, to do it. After that I did some really weird guest spots with orangutans and stuff."

"I never prepare. I think that's completely overrated. It's a very simple job. All you have to do is hit this bright mark, stand in the right spot and say the line. So I don't really believe in preparation."

"I didn't know much about him, and I wasn't a big country music fan. I listened to the Beatles and David Bowie, so I didn't know a lot about him."

"I enjoy humour more than anything, I don't really sit around banging my head and crying all the time."
