Joaquin Phoenix said his brother, the late River Phoenix, knew he would be an Oscars-nominated actor before he'd even appeared on the big screen: 'He didn't ask me, he told me.'
."I don't communicate with friends or family. It sounds intense, but it's the process of getting there that is really hard.""I really just thought of myself as a hedonist. I was an actor in L.A. I wanted to have a good time. But I wasn't engaging with the world or myself in the way I wanted to. I was being an idiot, running around, drinking, trying to screw people, going to stupid clubs," he toldin 2017.
"Like so much of what's difficult is waking up every day and being obsessed over like 0.3 pounds. Right? And you really develop like a disorder. But I think the interesting thing for me is what I had expected and anticipated with the weight loss was these feelings of dissatisfaction, hunger, a certain kind of vulnerability and a weakness.
