Joaquin Phoenix: Before the Letterman Fiasco, There Was THIS.

popvox:

Some actors travel everywhere with their entourage. Then there’s Joaquin Phoenix. He arrived at a press junket in New York on Wednesday for his new movie “Two Lovers” with an entire camera crew….

This is fairly awesome. Money quote:


I think it’s hard for us to understand what’s going on with you. And you made the announcement so quickly on a red carpet.
For you, I understand that perspective. You’re outside something. This big decision is something that’s been happening for me. It’s hard not to get pissed off. I don’t do press. I’m doing this press line, and I honestly feel my only obligation is to my fans. To the people who are interested in what I’m doing. I felt this obligation to say, I’m not going to be appearing in films anymore. And this is what I’m going to be doing. Maybe some of my fans will be interested in it. Maybe they won’t. I don’t know.

Do you reach out to your fans? Do you answer their letters?
No, not really.
