2. SOUNDBITE (English) Joaquin Phoenix/Actor on why he is leaving the acting profession:
(Reporter: What was your favourite part of making this film?) When they called wrap.
(Reporter: Yeah. Is it really your last film?) Yeah. (Reporter: Why is that?) Just, I'm through. I mean I think it's just moving on. It's rediscovering something else. I don't understand what the-- why it seems so hard to understand.
And it's part of kind of what's the unfair thing about the business is that it's like, it's difficult like for me to like, to be able to, to connote that like my artism is f**king bigger than that. You know what I mean? And it's something that's revealing about the truth, and the inability to look at it.
Like the Extra dude who was laughing in my f**king face about it. You know what I mean? It's unacceptable. But I appreciate you being here this momentous moment.
(Reporter: I have to say, and I also think that I also speak for a lot people, who would just consider it a great loss if you were to step away from acting.) But there's other, there's, you know, it's like greener pastures, you know what I mean.
And so, I'm just gonna try and like, I'll just be doing the other thing.
You know what I mean? And I, hopefully I will emotionally impact you with that as well. (Reporter: Okay, well thank you for stopping.)"

STORYLINE:
PHOENIX RETIREMENT
It seems the rumours are true: Actor Joaquin Phoenix says he is retiring from the acting business.
Phoenix walked the red carpet in Hollywood on Saturday (November 1) night for a screening of his recently completed film "Two Lovers" at the AFI Film Festival, and personally confirmed the details of a story that has been swirling since earlier this week.
He purposely paid little attention to most of the media gathered in front of Mann's Chinese Theatre when he first arrived. Instead, he breezed past dozens of flashing cameras without a second glance.
He stopped to hug and talk with director James Gray and co-star Vinessa Shaw, and later posed for photos briefly with Shaw. He also held out his fists to members of the press, to display a message penned on his knuckles, which read "Good Bye!"
Phoenix then paused to speak with the reporter for Associated Press TV, and answer questions about his decision to quit the business. In the exclusive interview, Phoenix confirmed that he is indeed stepping away from his work in front of the camera to explore what he referred to as greener pastures.
Phoenix described the shift away from acting as rediscovering something else, and expressed surprise that his decision seems shocking to most.
His publicist on Friday (October 31) confirmed that Phoenix wants to now pursue music, and shared that he has been involved with directing music videos in recent years.
He first talked about the stunning decision to the television show "Extra" earlier this week while attending a fundraiser in San Francisco. He reportedly ended the interview abruptly after the reporter wondered whether he was joking.
The 34-year-old star received Oscar nominations for his roles in "Gladiator" and "Walk the Line," for which he learned to play guitar to portray country legend Johnny Cash.
Phoenix also loaned his vocals and musicianship to the soundtrack of "Walk the Line,"singing the Johnny Cash songs as he did in the 2005 movie profiling the Man in Black.
"Two Lovers" is slated for release February 13, 2009.
