Joaquin Phoenix

No, I don't want to talk about River. I have nothing to say about it that I would want to be public.

Whether you think a film will affect society or it's plain entertainment, it's all excellent, it's all noble.

When I decide to do something, I stick with it, total commitment.

I know I'm not the kind of person who's gonna wind up a walking jukebox, like many rock 'n' roll artists. They just play their hits and that's it. That doesn't appeal to me.

Fear follows crime and is its punishment.

I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.
