Joaquin Phoenix: 'Music Will Be My Legacy, Not Acting'February 17, 2009
 Joaquin Phoenix believes that when he dies he will be remembered for his music and not his acting.
The twice Oscar nominated star has once again tried to quash talk that his new career is a hoax and has pledged his life to hip-hop. The bearded wonder has also revealed that playing Johnny Cash in Walk The Line inspired him somewhat, telling WENN: "I’ve always loved music and never really played anything, and, after Walk The Line, I kind of learned to play guitar and having that sense of performing, that certainly opened the door for me for music. "I think now I would just like the music to speak for itself. I don’t think we’ll ever get to the reason, 'Oh, that’s why he quit and this is why he’s doing this.' I don’t fully understand it myself. I’ve always followed my heart and felt what was true at the time and that’s what I’m doing now.” He continued: "I’m not out to sell records. I’m experiencing something and it’s what I feel. I feel like everything in my life is leading up to this and suddenly acting doesn’t seem like that’s a big part of what was important in my life. "I imagine, when I look back on my life, acting will be just a very small portion of something that I did, and I think music will be the dominant theme in my life."
