Interview with Joaquin Phoenix of Eddington
Transcript
00:00I think in some ways it's very simple with the director for me in that I just want somebody that, it seems obvious, but has a really unique vision, right?
00:11That they do something that no one else can do, that you can't replicate what they do.
00:17You can try, but it's never going to be the same, right?
00:19And so I think that's kind of the most important thing for me.
00:22And then are they going to, can they find something in me that I haven't explored before?
00:31A different way that I might have an approaching character and are they going to find, are they going to be able to challenge me and elicit something from me?
00:39And then will I be able to be around them for three months and like not hate them?
00:46Like sometimes it really just comes down to like, because you're spending like hours upon hours with somebody and you're talking about things that are kind of happening in the world, but in the world of the film, in the world at large and your own personal experiences and things can get heated and intense and also humorous and fun.
01:08And so you go through that, like this really intense, condensed period, this relationship with somebody that's like really intense for three months.
01:19And so you're like, I want to remain friends with them and I want to bring out the best in each other when we challenge each other.
01:25So I think those are, those are kind of what I look for.
01:27It's what you need for the collaboration.
01:29That's awesome.
01:29That's right.
01:30And also just like, just like if they'll have me, like I'm available and if they'll have me.
