THIS IS FOR YOU EM

Joaquin quotes
"Forget the Oscar nomination [for Gladiator]. The real pinnacle is that I'm playing an animated character in a Disney film. Isn't that the greatest? I play a native American transformed into a bear. Don't call me a leading man. I don't care about that. I'm a leading bear. I am content!"

"The minute I read To Die For, I knew that I wanted the character to have that Billy Ray Cyrus sort of hair. So I had them put in some extensions and pierce the ear. I thought this was a really ridiculous hair style, and I still do. But it's funny, in Canada, I'm walking to the set laughing about it, and I look up and like 60 percent of the crew has this haircut — the hockey cut."

"I would do one of those huge movies because I want to experience it. I think it's probably a lot easier for me to do a scene in which I'm having an intimate conversation with someone on a quiet little set than it is to scream at a blue screen because I think a giant dragon's penis is trying to swallow me. That, to me, is going to be a challenge."

"In some ways it can be therapeutic. I think when you go through a really intense scene you just feel like such a sense of contentment and calm that kind of washes over you. Ten hours and you're shooting the scene over and over again, crying or screaming or whatever, it's so intense. You know we all feel better after a good cry... Try it for 10 hours."

a quote from Casey Affleck his BFF
"I've been on planes with him, and I don't really want to look at him, either, because he sits down and drinks sixteen shots of whatever he can find and pulls his shirt over his head and stays like that for the rest of the flight."

"With Joaq, people kind of want to take care of him, because they see that he's still pure. It's like when someone has an 8-month old child in their arms and everyone in the room kind of smiles and looks at it and wants to protect it and love it, because they're all thinking, Oh God, I hope the world doesn't get to him. I hope for Joaq, more than anyone else, that he doesn't become cynical and hardened by the nastiness of the business. And he probably won't, but it's a fight. It's hard for him, I can tell."
