You can watch Phoenix's bizarre Letterman interview on the CBS website. Earlier in the day the video could be seen virtually everywhere, but the videos were later removed due to a copyright violation.
That interview was amazing. I can't tell if he's joking or really having some issues. Its still up at this site for you to watch funnyordie.com/videos/d78535c1d0/joaquin....
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
