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 just love good movies. And not every movie you're going to end up in is always going to turn out right, but at least walk into it with the right intention.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

My movie career - if such a thing even exists - is laughable.
