The acting of most guests tends toward the normal. Does that mean they are really the weird ones and Phoenix is truly, underneath that pretty, pretty hair, the picture of sanity?

Maybe he's facting.

It's also worth noting that this guy has had a weird life. He was born into a cult, had his 911 call to save his brother played ad nauseum on televison and radio and even had this happen to him:

On January 26, 2006, Phoenix was in a car accident in Hollywood on a winding canyon road that flipped his car over. The crash reportedly was caused by brake failure. Shaken and confused, Phoenix heard a tapping on his window and a voice say, "Just relax". Unable to see the man, Phoenix replied, "I'm fine. I am relaxed". The man replied, 'No, you're not'. At this point, Phoenix managed to see that the man was famed, eccentric German auteur Werner Herzog. After helping Phoenix out of the wreckage, Herzog phoned in an ambulance and vanished.

I mean, that's just weird. It sounds like a dream.

If I hadn't seen some other stuff with joaquin related to his career change, I'd probably be wondering if some or most of this interview wasn't some kind of publicity, acting stunt, but Joaquin has always seemed to be nothing if not very serious and super-earnest.

This is good stuff, but Dave
