I do like to collaborate, and I like hearing other people, and I like how somebody's performance will affect my own.
Joaquin PhoenixI 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.

Joaquin PhoenixI don't know a single person in life that doesn't have conflict. I don't really enjoy acting enough to not want to experience something that feels like it really affects things. It's like, if you were a surfer, would you want to surf where there was like two-foot waves, or would you want to surf on like ten-foot waves. To me, the more kind of dramatic stories are more exciting for me, to play with.
