The Early Life of Joaquin Phoenix
Early Life and Childhood Career: Joaquin Rafael Bottom, better known as Joaquin Phoenix, was born on October 28, 1974, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. His parents, Arlyn (née Dunetz) and John Lee Bottom, were both from the United State mainland; his father is of mostly English descent, while his mother is an Ashkenazi Jew of Hungarian and Russian ancestry. The family were members of the religious cult Children of God, and traveled throughout South America with the cult. Eventually, when Phoenix was three years old, the family left the cult and returned to live in the United States. It was upon their return to the U.S. that they changed their last name from Bottom to Phoenix, to symbolize a new beginning, just like how the mythical bird rises from its own ashes. He has five siblings, including a half-sibling from his father’s previous relationship. Many of his siblings have nature-related names, such as River or Rain, and Phoenix called himself “Leaf” until he was fifteen, partially out of a desire to be more like his siblings.

Inspirational Quotes by Joaquin Phoenix
Once I became a total buffoon, it was so liberating.
Joaquin Phoenix
I had a really wonderful upbringing. We were a tight family. It was wonderful to grow up with so many siblings. We were all just a year or two apart, and we were always so supportive of each other. I learned everything from my older brother and sister and taught it to my younger sisters.

I'm vomiting days before I start shooting a new movie.
Joaquin Phoenix
You see so many earnest characters in movies all the time, everyone has a purpose.
Joaquin Phoenix
I feel like everything you learn as an actor growing up is wrong. You're supposed to hit your mark, find your light and know your lines. Those are all things that just make things wooden, dull and boring.
