Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman

[Saya]

Have to agree with terminator. Has always been a primo actor. I think this is brillant! He is going to come out of the other end of this upstaging everyone. Its going to be great fun to see.

I pretty much agree with what other people have said. This is all an act for the new documentary. He's probably high as hell while doing this in order to get in the role, but I've never been this stoned to where I can't even answer a question or be aware of my surroundings (totally blitzed on alcohol excluded). I would hope he's too intelligent to touch the harder stuff.

Or at least aware of family's ghosts.

He's been in rehab for booze. I wish he'd quit this. He looks like crap!

Sooner or later it all catches up with them all, acting is a volatile profession. I still have no idea why anyone would want such "fame"

Arnold was such an idiot. He should've never acted. Who acts anyway? Why do we have movies! Argh!

Nothing that Morrison or Kaufman didn't do long before him. And better.

This thread made me think of my favorite Crispin Glover scene though.

If this is a Kaufman-like act, Joaquin is not as good at it...

The Unabomber comment was right on.
