Joaquín Rafael Phoenix (/ˌhwɑːˈkiːn/; born Joaquín Rafael Bottom; October 28, 1974), known formerly as Leaf Phoenix, is a Puerto Rican–born American actor, producer, music video director, musician and activist. For his work as an artist, Phoenix has received a Grammy Award, a Golden Globe Award and three Academy Award nominations. Phoenix started acting in television shows with his brother River Phoenix and sister Summer Phoenix. His first major film release was in the comedy-drama film Parenthood (1989). During his period as a child actor he was credited as Leaf Phoenix, his self-given name. He later went back to his birth name, Joaquín, and received positive reviews for his supporting work in a wide range of films, most notably in the film adaptation of the novel To Die For (1995) and the period film Quills (2000). He received international attention for his portrayal of Commodus in the 2000 historical epic film Gladiator, which earned him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He has subsequently earned Best Actor nominations for portraying musician Johnny Cash in the biopic Walk the Line (2005) and for his role as Freddie Quell, a sex-obsessed alcoholic World War II veteran in the drama film The Master (2012). To this date, he and River Phoenix hold the distinction of being the first and only brothers to be nominated for acting Academy Awards. Some of his other notable films include the satire film Buffalo Soldiers (2001), the science fiction thriller Signs (2002), the animated film Brother Bear (2003), the historical drama film Hotel Rwanda (2004), the psychological thriller The Village (2004), the documentary Earthlings (2005), the romantic drama Two Lovers (2008), the drama The Immigrant (2013), the romantic science fiction drama Her (2013) and the crime comedy-drama film Inherent Vice (2014
I just don't want to feel so bad anymore.
I used to think that my life was a tragedy. But now I realize, it’s a comedy.
Arthur Fleck: And Murray, one small thing. Murray Franklin: Yeah. Arthur Fleck: When you bring me out, can you introduce me as Joker?
In my whole life, I didn’t know if I even really existed. But I do. And people are starting to notice.
Arthur Fleck: [Arthur is watching Murray Franklin’s show on TV] Murray Franklin: And finally, in a world where everyone thinks they can do my job, check out this guy. [we see Arthur onstage] Arthur Fleck: When I was a little boy and told people I was going to be a comedian, everyone laughed at me.…
Is it just me, or is it getting crazier out there?
[to Arthur, who’s playing peekaboo with a young boy on the bus] Boy’s Mother: Will you stop bothering my kid? Arthur Fleck: Sorry.
My mother always tells me to smile and put on a happy face. She told me I had a purpose to bring laughter and joy to the world.
You don’t listen, do you? You just ask the same questions every week. 'How’s your job? Are you having any negative thoughts?' All I have are negative thoughts.
